Local planning

Sans Souci is split between two councils

Sans Souci is listed by both Georges River Council and Bayside Council, so part of the suburb is in each council area. The plan that applies to your home depends on which side of the boundary it is on:

  • Georges River Council: Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021;
  • Bayside Council: Bayside Local Environmental Plan 2021.

Check your rates notice, or look up your address on the NSW Planning Portal. Both councils take development applications online through the Planning Portal. Sans Souci has no train station.

Local planning

Waterfront and foreshore lots

Sans Souci sits on the water, and the controls for waterfront land differ on each side of the council boundary:

  • On the Georges River side, mapped foreshore controls can apply to waterfront lots. The Georges River plan applies to land on its Foreshore Building Line Map. It limits new building work in the foreshore area, generally allowing an existing building to be altered or rebuilt only if it does not extend further forward than its existing footprint into the foreshore building line.
  • The Bayside side of Sans Souci has no mapped foreshore building line on the NSW Planning Portal, but coastal, flood and heritage controls can still apply.

Whether these controls affect your property depends on your lot, so check your lot's maps before you design. On a foreshore lot, renovating or rebuilding within the existing footprint can sometimes be simpler than building further forward. We can talk through what is likely to be possible at a free consultation.

Can’t see your question? Call 0421 023 012 and we’ll talk it through.

Is Sans Souci in Georges River Council or Bayside Council?

Both. Part of Sans Souci is in the Georges River Council area and part is in the Bayside Council area. Check your rates notice or look up your address on the NSW Planning Portal.

Can I rebuild a waterfront home in Sans Souci?

Often, yes, but foreshore controls may apply. On land shown on the Georges River Foreshore Building Line Map, rebuilding is generally limited to work that does not extend further forward than the existing footprint into the foreshore building line. We check the controls for your lot before design starts.

Do foreshore controls apply on the Bayside side of Sans Souci?

The Bayside side of Sans Souci has no mapped foreshore building line on the NSW Planning Portal, but coastal, flood and heritage controls can still apply. Check your lot's maps before you design.
