Questions people ask in Leichhardt

All questions
Can I use a CDC here, or do I need a DA?

Much of the Inner West sits in heritage conservation areas, where external work usually needs a DA. Internal work can often be done as exempt or complying development. The Property Study answers it for your address before any drawing starts.

How much can I add on a small lot?

The floor space ratio and landscaped area for your address set the limit. The free Property Report shows both.
