House Demolition, Dual Occupancy Site Prep and Commercial Strip-Out in Hurstville
Hurstville is in the middle of major redevelopment, with approved planning controls allowing buildings of up to around 20 storeys in parts of the city centre. Many of these projects require existing buildings to be demolished or stripped out before construction can begin. Away from the tower sites, established homes on the residential fringe are increasingly being cleared for dual occupancy builds instead.
Serving Hurstville from our Menai base, we handle both ends of that spectrum, from a single knockdown to a commercial strip-out ahead of a major build.

Growth and Redevelopment in Hurstville
Civic Precinct
Gazetted in October 2023, this rezoning around MacMahon, Park, Queens and Dora Streets raised height limits to as much as 60 metres for a mix of civic, cultural, commercial and residential use.
Eastern Bookend Precinct
Planning approvals along Forest Road and Durham Street allow towers up to 65 metres, around 20 storeys, on sites that currently hold older commercial and light industrial buildings.
Western Gateway
A planning proposal for the Gloucester Road and Forest Road corner would allow up to 400 apartments and heights of up to 60 metres, replacing three existing commercial buildings.
Many of these projects require existing buildings to be demolished or stripped out before construction can begin.
Property Mix in Hurstville
Residential Streets
Brick and weatherboard homes from the 1950s through the 1980s make up much of the housing stock on medium sized blocks. These properties can be candidates for dual occupancy redevelopment, subject to the site’s zoning, lot size and applicable controls.
CBD Retail and Dining Precinct
Hurstville’s centre is a major dining and retail destination, meaning commercial strip-out work here often means coordinating around a busy trading strip, not a quiet shopfront.
Sites Awaiting Redevelopment
Several approved and proposed towers currently sit on older commercial buildings still trading or standing vacant, and these need a full demolition and site clearance before construction starts.

Excavation Services Sydney →Approvals in Hurstville
Development runs through Georges River Council or a private certifier, under the Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021. Where a site sits within one of the CBD’s active redevelopment precincts, the pathway and requirements can differ from a standard residential block, so it’s worth checking which controls apply to your specific property.
Heritage listing is not widespread in Hurstville, though genuine items exist, the Hurstville Museum and Gallery is a protected heritage item within the Civic Precinct itself, so it’s still worth checking a specific property before finalising a scope.
Access in Hurstville
Forest Road is the spine of the CBD and carries most of the redevelopment activity described above, alongside Park Road, King Georges Road and Stoney Creek Road. These provide useful access for larger vehicles, but the retail and dining strip around the station gets genuinely congested during trading hours. We check proximity to the CBD core at inspection and plan truck movements around the quieter periods.
