The flags

26 checks run · 23 came back green. Flags are a count of findings to review, not a score or a verdict — what matters depends on your plans. Each item links to a detailed section below with its source and limits.

Zoning — what can be built here

R2 · Low Density Residential

Low Density Residential — mostly houses; apartment buildings are not permitted. Your streetscape is likely to stay low-rise.

Height control on this lot: 7 m (map band 7-7.4 m) — the same limit applies here and, in most cases, on the neighbouring lots in this height band.

Floor space ratio: 0.5:1 (0.5-0.54 band).

The lot — shape and orientation

Drawn from the registered cadastral boundary, north up — the shaded outlines are neighbouring lots and the nearest road, for context only; only your lot (highlighted) is measured. Total boundary (perimeter) of this lot: ~358 m. The lot spans roughly 118 m × 105 m (east–west × north–south extent) · area ~5,117 m² · lot 13//DP15083. The red dot is the geocoded address point; the dashed arrow points to the estimated street frontage. Boundary position and length are map geometry, not a survey — dimensions on the deposited plan prevail.

Development potential — what the planning controls allow

Dwellings on this lot

The controls allow up to 1 more self-contained dwelling on this lot (a granny flat), subject to approval. The lot is also about 10.2× the minimum lot size, and a straight two-way split would leave each lot roughly 33 m of street frontage, so subdivision may be physically possible — but frontage, access, heritage and council rules usually reduce or prevent it. Get a planner's view before assuming any of this.

Source: derived from the NSW Planning Portal zoning, floor-space, height and lot-size layers (queried live), cadastral frontage geometry, and the published thresholds of the NSW housing codes — pre-tests, not approvals.

Winter sun at this latitude

Estimated street frontage of this lot: WNW (west-north-west) (toward ROGERS AVE) · street frontage ~66 m wide · lot area ~5,117 m². Frontage direction and width are estimates from cadastral geometry.

Rear of the lot faces ESE (east-south-east). An east-leaning rear — morning sun in the back garden, shady and cooler by afternoon; good for summer comfort, less so for winter evening light. Estimated from the frontage bearing.

Tree canopy: ~29% of this pocket is under tree cover (2022 Greater Sydney mesh-block data, vs 30% in 2019). Genuinely leafy — cooler summers and an established streetscape.

Summer surface heat: this pocket ran ~8.4°C hotter than a vegetated baseline in satellite surface-temperature mapping (2016 — dated but structural patterns persist). A warm urban pocket — typical of harder, less vegetated streetscapes.

Slope: the ground falls an estimated 2 m across this lot (~2% grade, from mapped contour lines). A gentle fall — unlikely to matter beyond drainage basics.

Overshadowing check: land on your northern side can carry a building up to 7 m. Built to that limit at the boundary, its mid-winter noon shadow reaches ~11 m south — up to 10% of this lot's 106 m north–south depth. Worst-case estimate from mapped height controls and cadastral geometry.

North-facing living areas get all-day winter sun; south-facing ones get none. With the winter sun this low, buildings to the north cast shadows ~1.56× their height.

Rezoning on the horizon

No exhibited rezoning proposal is mapped at or within 300 m of this address, and it's not in an accelerated TOD (Transport Oriented Development) precinct.

Proposals appear here only once they're mapped for public exhibition — earlier-stage rezonings and site-specific DAs won't show. The development section below covers applications under the current rules.

What's coming near this address

Where this area is heading: on the public record, this pocket is projected to stay broadly stable — the state projects +2% residents in the surrounding area by 2041, and no state-funded projects within 2 km in this year's budget papers. Little is being added on the public record — quieter streets stay quieter, but don't expect new services or transport soon.

The ABS area covering this address (Haberfield - Summer Hill) is projected to go from 13,560 residents (2021) to 13,833 by 2041 — 13,774 by 2031. That trajectory shapes everything else on this card: what gets funded tends to follow where people are added.

No state-funded, school, health or social-housing projects are mapped near this address in the current lists — quiet on the public-investment front, which cuts both ways: less construction, but also nothing new being added.

Read this as intent, not certainty: a "Planning" status is not a commitment — projects change, slip and get cancelled; budget locations are agency-supplied points and multi-site programs are excluded from the distance list. Population figures are projections (DPHI 2024 NSW Population Projections (2022–2041 series)), not counts, for the ABS statistical area — not this street specifically.

Development within 500 m

64 applications 4 still open

Determined applications in this pocket took a median ~69 days from lodgement to decision (34 determined applications within 500 m, all types pooled — a big residential project and a pergola count the same here, and the sample is small) — a rough local gauge if you're planning works of your own, not a forecast for any particular application type.

Pipeline within 500 m: ~2 new dwellings approved and ~2 more in applications still being assessed. Status naming varies by council — treat as an estimate of how much this pocket is changing.

What the colours mean: ApprovedIn progressDecided — outcome not statedRefusedWithdrawn / returned

This list mixes every stage: some applications are approved and already built or under construction, some are still being assessed, some were refused or withdrawn. Read each pill, not just the address — an approved multi-dwelling project nearby means construction for 1–2 years then changed traffic and skyline; one still in progress can still be objected to.

Hazards & constraints on official maps

Aircraft noise is estimated from runway alignment (8 km from Sydney Airport (SYD)) — no official ANEF contour is mapped here. Verify real overflights on Airservices WebTrak before committing.

Heritage listing detail: inside a heritage conservation area — “Haberfield Heritage Conservation Area (nominated area of State significance)”. Also: a state-significance heritage item — “Bunyas House, including interiors”. The interiors are listed too, so even internal renovations need heritage approval. A listed item is a far stronger constraint than a conservation area: alterations, additions and demolition all need heritage assessment, and State-significance items answer to Heritage NSW, not just council.

Asbestos-register limit: the loose-fill asbestos insulation (LFAI) check above covers only homes that have been tested and confirmed to contain loose-fill asbestos — absence from the register is not proof a home is free of it, and it says nothing about other, far more common asbestos materials.

Asbestos awareness: this subdivision appears to date from the early 1900s (estimated from the deposited plan number, DP 15083). Homes built before 1987 very commonly contain asbestos materials — fibro sheeting, eaves, wet areas, roofing. If the original-era house still stands, assume asbestos is present until tested, and never cut, drill or demolish suspect material without testing. The current house may be newer than the subdivision — this is an estimate, not a claim about this building.

Easements — other people's legal rights over part of this land

No mapped easements intersect this lot.

An easement means someone else — usually the water utility, the council, or a neighbour — has a permanent legal right to use or access a strip of this land for a specific purpose, even though you'd own the whole block. Most commonly it's a buried drainage or sewer pipe running through the yard. You can't build over that strip, and it can rule out a pool, an extension or a granny flat in that spot.

What this check can't see: this is the state's mapped easement layer — some easements and restrictions exist only in the title documents (s88B instrument / covenants) and never appear on the map. A clear map is a good sign, not proof: the title search your conveyancer runs is the final word.

Contaminated land — EPA public record

No sites within 500 m appear on the contaminated-land record of the EPA (NSW Environment Protection Authority).

What this register can't show: it only lists contamination formally notified to the EPA — it is not a clean bill of health. Past uses like service stations, dry cleaners or uncontrolled fill can carry unreported contamination; a site history search covers that.

Serious defect orders — Building Commission NSW

This building

• No in-force defect order matched to this location (within 60 m).

Nearby buildings — within 500 m

• None within 500 m.

What this register covers: only serious, in-force orders under the RAB Act (Residential Apartment Buildings Act 2020) — 135 across NSW right now. It is not a general defect history: most building problems never reach this register. For apartments, the strata report remains the place to check defects.

This property's building-approval history

What's on record

• No building applications on record for this address.

How old is the building?

The land's deposited-plan number suggests the block was subdivided around the early 1900s — the original dwelling likely dates from that era (an estimate from the plan number, not a construction record; the contract will have the real year).

What this record can't show: only councils on the NSW ePlanning portal, and only the portal era. Older renovations won't show, and work done without consent never appears here — "no record" is not proof the home is unaltered or that all work was legal. Also note what's tracked are DAs (development applications — the planning approval); the separate CC (construction certificate) or CDC (complying development certificate) "building permit" step isn't listed here, so a quiet record says nothing about certified building work.

Who lives here — Haberfield - Summer Hill (2021 Census)

Home ownership across the suburb

Age profile

A renter-heavy, young-professional area feels very different day-to-day from an owner-occupied family one.

How to read these figures: they cover the SA2 (Statistical Area Level 2 — roughly the suburb) from the 2021 ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) Census — the whole suburb, not this exact address. Medians are estimated from Census income and rent bands, in 2021 dollars: rents and incomes have both moved substantially since, so read them as relative context (how this suburb compares to others), not today's prices. The next Census runs in August 2026; its data lands in 2027.

Internet & mobile — will it actually work here?

Hybrid Fibre Coaxial — the old pay-TV cable network; high speed tiers available, occasional congestion history in some areas.

Snapshot vintage: this comes from the Australian Government's official July 2020 technology map (this area ready for service 18/01/2019) — nbn's fibre-upgrade program has since moved many FTTN/FTTC addresses to full fibre. Treat it as the baseline and check today's status for this exact address at nbn.com.au — free, takes a minute.

Mobile networks — licensed base stations

These are transmitter sites from the national licence register — a proximity signal, not a coverage map: terrain, building materials and indoor position all change real signal. "5G mid-band" means a 3.5 GHz (5G-only spectrum) transmitter is licensed at that site — the band behind 5G's speed claims; its reach is shorter than 4G bands, so distance matters more. The only test that counts is your own phone at the inspection, in the rooms you'll actually use.

Register limits: the NBN technology comes from the Australian Government's official July 2020 technology map (nbn's live checker was unreachable when this report ran); the base-station list is the ACMA licence register as at 2026-07-26 (licensed 700 MHz–4 GHz transmitters for the three mobile network operators — new sites appear only after licensing). Neither is a promise of service quality.

School catchments — this address is inside the zone

Enrolment at these 4 public schools is guaranteed from this address — no waiting list, no capacity test.

Living at this address guarantees a place at these public schools (NSW Department of Education intake zones, updated nightly). Other schools remain open subject to capacity.

⚠️ Catchment boundaries are street-level: an address a few doors away can fall outside these zones, and a school you can see from the driveway is not necessarily in zone. If a particular school is part of why you want this home, confirm this exact address with the school before you commit.

Getting around — public transport near you

Nearest railway station: Summer Hill station, about 801 m away in a straight line.

The walk to the station is roughly level (within ~8 m of elevation change, estimated from contours).

Straight-line 801 m — walking distance is more like ~1040 m (estimated with a typical ×1.3 street-network factor, not a routed path).

Buses: 17 stops within 400 m served by 6 routes (406, 437, 438N, 438X, 461N, 461X), nearest stop ~56 m.

EV charging: nearest public charger ~150 m away (Public charger, 2 plugs, AC). Transport for NSW data, snapshot 2026-07-18.

Emergency services: ASHFIELD fire station ~977 m · ASHFIELD POLICE STATION ~925 m (straight-line). Fire-station distance matters for both response times and some insurance quotes.

Licensed venues — night-time noise

Property crime — HABERFIELD suburb vs NSW

Property offences only, for HABERFIELD suburb itself (population 6,480 — 2021 Census) — not the wider council area, and not this street specifically. Rates are per 100,000 residents over the latest 12 months (Apr 2025–Mar 2026), using BOCSAR's own formula and incident data; small differences from BOCSAR's crime tool can remain where suburb and SA2 boundaries differ. Matching BOCSAR's practice, we don't show suburb rates where the population is under 2,000. Areas with heavy visitor traffic can read higher than they feel. Violent-crime categories are deliberately not shown here. To verify against BOCSAR's own tools, our plain-English names map to these official categories: break-ins to homes = "break and enter dwelling" (shop/warehouse break-ins are deliberately excluded) · car theft = "motor vehicle theft" · theft from cars = "steal from motor vehicle" · theft from homes = "steal from dwelling" · malicious property damage = "malicious damage to property".

Take the flags to the agent

• Have any heritage approvals been sought or refused for this property?
• Are you aware of any nearby approved or proposed developments that would affect outlook, light or noise?
• What do current residents say about noise at night and at peak times?
• When was the house built, and has any asbestos ever been identified or removed?
• Why are the owners selling, and how long has the property been on the market?
• Are there any easements, covenants or disputes a records search would show?

Generated from this report's findings — take them to the inspection. An agent must not knowingly mislead you, so direct questions on the record are worth asking.

Before you exchange contracts — your next steps

• Get a heritage architect or planner's view before assuming any changes are possible — especially if the listing covers interiors.
• Book the pest & building inspection — this report covers the land and the rules; that one covers the structure.
• Have your conveyancer review the contract and order the s10.7 planning certificate — it makes the planning matters in this report contractual.
• Visit at different times: peak-hour traffic, a winter-sun afternoon, and a weekend evening tell you what no dataset can.

"Exchange" is the legal moment you and the seller swap signed contracts and the sale becomes binding — everything below is worth doing before that point, when you can still walk away.
