Shadow and overshadowing in Georges River — common questions
Is shadow a risk in Georges River?
Shadow risk in Georges River is moderate. Medium-density residential development near Hurstville and Kogarah is ongoing, and established single and two-storey homes near station precincts can be affected by neighbouring development at higher densities.
What causes shadow issues in Georges River?
The main sources are new multi-dwelling and apartment buildings near Hurstville and Kogarah station precincts, dual-occupancy development in established R2 suburbs, and secondary dwelling additions to rear yards. The LGA has been subject to medium-density uplift in certain precincts.
Which suburbs in Georges River have the highest shadow risk?
Properties within 200m of Hurstville, Kogarah, and Mortdale town centres have the highest shadow risk due to medium-density zoning. Suburbs further from stations and in lower-density zones have lower risk. The shadow tool above analyses your specific address against current buildings.

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.
