Site history in Wollongong — common questions

Why run a pre-DA site history check in Wollongong?

Wollongong has unique geotechnical constraints — escarpment instability and coal mine subsidence — plus coastal hazard and bushfire. Site history reveals past land disturbance, DA conditions related to geotechnical risk, and physical changes that affect development potential.

Does the report show mine subsidence history?

The report does not directly assess mine subsidence, but satellite-detected ground disturbance and cross-referenced DA records may reveal subsidence-related conditions on past approvals. Properties in Subsidence Advisory Areas should check site history.

What does satellite imagery show on the escarpment?

Landslip activity, vegetation changes, and earthworks on and near the Illawarra Escarpment are visible in satellite imagery. This context is valuable for properties in areas subject to geotechnical assessment requirements.
