Demolition approvals in Sydney have become a simplified process using the services of a Private Certifier or PCA (Private Certifying Authority.)Demolition approval through a Private Certifier is generally granted 2 weeks after the application has been submitted. Once Demolition approval is given in writing, there is a notification period of 1 week given to close proximity neighbouring properties informing of the approval and commencement of work. This is a part of the legislation that is governed by the NSW’ Government.
