About Hills District

The Hills District falls within The Hills Shire Council, one of Sydney's largest and most active local government areas for residential construction. The area has experienced enormous growth over the past two decades, with suburbs like Kellyville, Rouse Hill, The Ponds, and Box Hill transforming from rural land into fully developed residential communities. The Sydney Metro Northwest, with stations at Bella Vista, Hills Showground, Rouse Hill, and Kellyville, has further accelerated development and driven a wave of high-density residential projects around station precincts. In more established suburbs like Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, and Glenhaven, knockdown-rebuild projects are a dominant building type as ageing homes on large lots make way for contemporary two-storey dwellings. Rural-residential properties in Dural and Kenthurst present unique certification considerations including bushfire-prone land and on-site wastewater management.

Our certifiers are familiar with Hills Shire Council's specific DCP controls, including its detailed requirements for front setbacks, garage presentation, landscaping, and building materials in established and new-release areas alike.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a CDC for a knockdown rebuild in the Hills District?
In many cases, yes. Knockdown rebuilds are one of the most common project types in established Hills District suburbs like Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, and West Pennant Hills, and the Complying Development pathway is frequently used to approve them. Your site must meet the eligibility criteria under the Codes SEPP, including minimum lot size, and the proposed dwelling must comply with all relevant standards for height, setbacks, floor space ratio, landscaping, and other provisions. Properties in heritage conservation areas, on flood-prone land, or on lots with unusual shapes may not be eligible. Sydney Wide Certifiers assesses your site early in the process to confirm CDC eligibility.
What are the certification requirements for building near a Hills District bushfire-prone area?
Suburbs on the Hills District's northern and western fringes — including Dural, Kenthurst, Glenhaven, and parts of Kellyville — include land mapped as bushfire-prone. A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment by an accredited practitioner is required, and the resulting BAL rating determines the construction standards under AS 3959 that your build must meet. For properties with a BAL rating of BAL-12.5 or above, specific construction detailing for roofing, external walls, windows, and decking is required. We review all bushfire documentation as part of the certification process and can refer you to qualified bushfire consultants if needed.
How does the Metro Northwest affect building approvals in the Hills District?
The Sydney Metro Northwest has triggered significant planning changes in precincts around Bella Vista, Hills Showground, Kellyville, and Rouse Hill stations. The Hills Shire Council and the NSW Government have rezoned land around these stations for higher-density residential and mixed-use development under specific precinct plans. If your project is within a Metro precinct, additional or different planning controls may apply, including increased height and density allowances but also specific design quality requirements. Sydney Wide Certifiers stays up to date with these evolving controls to ensure your certification reflects the current planning framework.
