Shadow and overshadowing in Bayside — common questions
Is shadow a risk in Bayside?
Shadow risk in Bayside is moderate. Post-war residential suburbs with standard lot widths see infill dual-occupancy and secondary dwelling development that can affect north-facing yards of neighbouring properties.
What causes shadow issues in Bayside?
Dual-occupancy infill and secondary dwelling additions are the main sources in Rockdale, Bexley, and Arncliffe. Properties near the Alexandra Canal precinct may also be affected by commercial and industrial conversion DAs that involve larger structures.
Are there specific shadow risks near the foreshore in Bayside?
Properties near Botany Bay are generally low-lying and flat, which limits the shadow risk from terrain. However, new development near the foreshore can affect solar access if buildings are positioned to the north. The tool above models existing building shadows 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.
