Shadow and overshadowing in Bathurst Regional — common questions
Is shadow a risk in Bathurst Regional?
Shadow risk in Bathurst is low to moderate. Heritage terrace housing in the Bathurst city centre creates localised shadow risk on narrow lots, similar to inner Sydney heritage precincts. Suburban residential areas have larger lots and lower risk.
What causes shadow issues in Bathurst Regional?
2-storey heritage buildings in the city centre and Bathurst's heritage residential streets create shadow on adjoining narrow lots. In suburban areas, 2-storey dwellings and secondary dwelling additions are the main sources.
Does Bathurst's heritage conservation area affect shadow analysis?
Heritage conservation area controls in Bathurst limit demolition and replacement with larger buildings, which prevents new large shadow sources appearing in heritage precincts. However, existing heritage buildings already creating shadow are not affected by these controls. The shadow tool above models existing building shadow for your specific address.

Shadow analysis uses building footprints and height data from NSW Spatial Services aerial imagery. The ADG 3-hour minimum applies to habitable rooms in new residential development assessed under the Apartment Design Guide. Results are indicative only -- actual shadow impact depends on exact roof pitch, vegetation, and neighbouring building heights. Not planning advice.
