Pool Removal and Demolition Where Narrabeen Meets the Lagoon

Narrabeen sits between the ocean and its own lagoon, with Ocean Street Bridge marking the point where the two meet. Narrabeen has a substantial stock of 1960s to 1980s brick homes, many with established backyard pools. Pool removal is therefore a relevant part of the local demolition and excavation mix, alongside house demolition on properties affected by sandstone terrain and lagoon-side planning controls.

Pools, Lagoon and Sandstone: What Shapes a Narrabeen Project

Narrabeen’s pool-era housing stock makes pool removal a relevant service for properties where owners are renovating, redeveloping or dealing with an unwanted pool. Full and partial removal are both options, and we handle NSW Swimming Pool Register deregistration as part of the job either way.

Narrabeen Lagoon adds another layer worth planning for. Council manages flood risk around the lagoon entrance near Ocean Street Bridge, and properties closer to the foreshore can fall under building setback controls that affect what’s possible on the site. Combined with sandstone on the suburb’s more elevated blocks, these factors can affect demolition, excavation scope, access and the planning requirements that need to be considered before work starts.

The approval pathway for a Narrabeen project depends on the property, proposed works and applicable planning controls. Properties closer to Narrabeen Lagoon may fall under foreshore building setback controls, which can affect what’s possible on the site and the approval pathway required.

Any heritage listing or applicable heritage controls should also be checked before demolition or alteration work.
