Site history in The Hills Shire — common questions
Why run a pre-DA site history check in The Hills?
The Hills Shire spans urban, suburban, and rural-residential zones. Site history is particularly important for rural-residential properties where unapproved sheds, cleared vegetation, and informal structures may exist without DA records.
What does satellite imagery show in The Hills?
On large rural-residential lots, satellite imagery can detect shed construction, dam works, vegetation clearing, and earthworks that may not have council approval. This is critical context before lodging your own DA.
How does development history affect The Hills properties?
Properties transitioning from rural to residential use often have complex DA histories. Previous approvals may have conditions about vegetation retention, access, or bushfire protection that carry forward to new development.
