What do I need to do to get approval in the Northern Beaches council area? My name is Colin Fragar from Council Approval Group. I love the Northern Beaches and I’m actually recording right here in the Northern Beaches.

Developing in Northern Beaches

We have done dozens of these for our clients. Northern Beaches is obviously a beautiful place to live and so there’s significant demand for the secondary dwellings. However, what you need to appreciate is that the approval process is not necessarily very easy. The Northern Beaches Council is, it’s no secret that they are probably, I would say anti development, they’re not a pro development council. Therefore, the scrutiny that you will get for secondary dwelling, whether it’s with council or through a certifier will be higher than in other areas. But that doesn’t make it not worth the journey, because the premium rent that you’ll be able to attract for the secondary dwellings in the Northern Beaches council area is significant.
