Most likely, yes. Much of Paddington is part of a heritage conservation area due to its historic terrace houses, narrow streets, and overall character. These areas are protected to maintain the suburb’s unique architectural style.
To be sure, you can check your property’s status by searching your address on your local council’s website—either Woollahra, City of Sydney, or Waverley, depending on where your property is located.
If you need help understanding what that means for your renovation plans, feel free to get in touch. We deal with this regularly and can guide you through it.
-
In most cases, yes. Paddington falls within a heritage conservation area, which means even small changes to the exterior of your home—like windows, skylights, fences, or extensions—usually require a Development Application (DA).
However, if your renovation is internal only and doesn’t affect the external appearance or structure of the building, you may not need a DA and could proceed under Complying Development or Exempt Development rules.
It’s best to get professional advice early. We can help you understand what’s possible, what approvals you’ll need, and how to plan your project to avoid delays.
-
Costs vary depending on the size and scope of your project. We offer a fixed-price Design Consultation to explore your options and give you clarity on likely costs, timeline, and next steps.
