City of Canada Bay
Residents can make submissions to City of Canada Bay at any time right up until a DA is determined. To ensure full consideration by the assigned council assessment planner, iObject prescribes an additional two to three-week ‘Informal Deadline’, depending on the scale of the project in question.
If there is insufficient time to produce a detailed submission within Council’s notification period, we recommend seeking a deadline extension directly from the council officer, which iObject can negotiate on your behalf.
Submissions must address planning law considerations rather than general opposition.
Experience Highlight: CHISWICK
Demolition of the existing building, construction of new dwelling house with semi-basement, swimming pool and landscaping
Address: No. 16B Chiswick Street, Chiswick, NSW
Application: DA2025/0110
Services Provided: DA Deficiency Audit & Principal Objection
Impact Risks
The proposed building exceeded three (3) storeys in height and was found to exceed the prescribed height control by several metres. The design would have disadvantaged our Client's outlook and contribute to the deterioration of a historic streetscape.
Elevated balconies along the elevation facing our Client's private open space would have compromised this space and as a result devastate it's usability.
Determination: iObject's position was supported on multiple fronts, with Council specifically addressing the elevated balconies and an overbearing building height. Consequently, the applicant submitted amended plans, resolving many of our Client's concerns. This amended design was subsequently approved by Council with an additional series of conditions that further benefited our Client's property.
What iObject Achieved
By submitting a Major Principal Objection, iObject played a crucial role in securing an amended approval that delivered a more equitable development outcome for our Client. Ultimately, this intervention successfully scaled back the total building footprint, mitigated potential privacy issues, and preserved the existing levels of residential comfort.
