House Demolition & Dual Occupancy Site Prep in Colyton
Colyton is one of Penrith’s older established suburbs. It developed from a private estate with larger original residential lots, some of which provide substantial site area for redevelopment. Those larger original lots can be relevant to dual occupancy proposals, subject to the applicable planning controls.
Get It Away operates from our St Clair office and services Colyton and the surrounding Penrith area. We hold a SafeWork NSW Demolition Licence, AD214489, and manage house demolition, dual occupancy site prep, and excavation work across the region.
A Bit About Colyton
Colyton began as a private estate in 1819 and developed into a residential suburb through the 19th and 20th centuries, one of the older established areas on Penrith’s eastern edge.
The suburb includes land zoned R2 Low Density Residential under the Penrith Local Environmental Plan.
Services in Colyton
House demolition
Full house demolition for Colyton’s established homes, including asbestos inspection, utility disconnection, and structural demolition where the approved scope allows.
Dual occupancy site prep
Demolition and site clearance for Colyton’s larger original blocks, sequenced to take a property from existing structure through to a cleared site ready for a two dwelling development.
Excavation
Bulk excavation and site preparation for house and dual occupancy builds across Colyton, including footing excavation and site levelling ahead of construction.
Asbestos removal
Established homes built before the late 1980s may contain asbestos in eave linings, wet area sheeting, or older outbuildings. A proper assessment identifies where asbestos is present before demolition begins.
Pool removal
Full or partial pool removal and backfill for Colyton properties preparing for a rebuild or dual occupancy development, with council deregistration handled as part of the scope.
Penrith City Council: Permits and Compliance
Colyton falls under Penrith City Council and is zoned R2 Low Density Residential. The approval pathway depends on the property’s zoning, existing approvals, proposed works, and any applicable lot size or development controls. Dual occupancy can be permissible on suitable R2 properties where the applicable zoning, lot size, and development controls are met.
1. Confirm the correct approval pathway for your property
2. Check whether an asbestos assessment is required
3. Confirm zoning and lot size requirements if planning a dual occupancy
4. Check whether neighbour notification applies to your project
Working Around Colyton’s Streets and Access
The M4 Motorway, Great Western Highway, and Marsden Road provide established routes for trucks and equipment serving Colyton. Local access still needs to be assessed property by property, particularly where equipment or skips need to be staged within a residential site.
Project Insight
House Demolition and Dual Occupancy Site Prep, Colyton
A home on an original quarter acre block in Colyton was referred to us ahead of a dual occupancy development. The owners were preparing to build two dwellings on the site once the existing house was cleared.
We arranged asbestos inspection, coordinated utility disconnections, and completed structural demolition, followed by excavation and site levelling to prepare the block for construction.
