DA associated works
Consent conditions
When a development application (DA) is lodged with the City of Sydney, conditions of development consent requiring work in public areas may be imposed. The conditions (listed below) may also relate to works on private property that have an affect on the public domain.
Public domain plan
To show proposed works including changes to roads, kerbs, gutters, foopaths, signage, lighting, street trees, nature strips and other public spaces.
Alignment levels
To show existing and proposed levels for roads, footways, forecourts and through-site links.
Stormwater drainage
To demonstrate how water from the development site will be managed (see Stormwater drainage connection information, download below).
Road design
To show the detailed layout and engineering design for proposed roadworks.
Temporary shoring and ground anchors
A temporary structures application (download below) is required when site excavation requires temporary shoring next to the public domain (with or without temporary ground anchors).
Landscaping
To show proposed landscaping works. Usually applied to private property but may also be applied to landscape works in the public domain such as new parks.
Special conditions
Special conditions of consent are imposed on a DA to cover proposed works that are specific to an individual development or site.
Submissions and approvals
Detailed information about making a submission for these conditions and how to get approval for your works is available in the Public Domain Manual (download below).
Security deposits
Also known as bank guarantees or performance bonds, a security deposit helps ensure the approved works are carried out and that existing public assets are protected during construction work.
Deposits are applied in accordance with the City's schedule of fees and charges.
The bonds that may be requested for public domain works include:
- footpath damage
- public domain works
- temporary shoring of footpaths or roads.
Please note: other deposits related to construction activity such as erecting hoardings may also be applied by other teams at the City.
