Building in St Ives

St Ives has some of the best blocks on the North Shore: wide frontages, mature gardens and plenty of room for a family home. Many families here choose to knock down and rebuild rather than move away from the street they love.

We’ve built in St Ives and know what the suburb asks of a builder. That means Ku-ring-gai Council’s tree and landscape controls, bushfire ratings near the bushland edge, and sandstone under many blocks. We plan for all of it before we price.

What to know about building in St Ives

Council

Ku-ring-gai Council. Most new homes go through a DA, and some suit a faster CDC.

Trees

Many trees are protected, so an arborist report and tree protection plan are usually needed.

Bushfire

Blocks near St Ives Chase and the national park often need a BAL assessment.

Same council, same rules

Our Turramurra rebuild faced the Ku-ring-gai rules St Ives owners deal with: OSD tanks, protected trees and a tricky site, all sorted before a shovel went in. View the project
