Local planning
Penshurst homes and the heritage area
Penshurst has an even housing mix. At the 2021 Census, flats and apartments made up about 46 per cent of occupied homes and separate houses about 41 per cent, with townhouses and semi-detached homes making up most of the rest.
Penshurst Station is on the T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line between Hurstville and Mortdale, and the Penshurst Railway Station Group is one of the suburb's listed heritage items.
Local planning
Local planning notes for Penshurst
All of Penshurst is in the Georges River Council area, so the Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021 sets the main controls. What stands out on its maps is heritage:
- Heritage conservation area: The Penshurst Heritage Conservation Area covers close to a quarter of the suburb. Inside a conservation area, demolition and changes to the outside of a building generally need development consent.
- Listed houses: Beyond the conservation area, the plan lists a long run of individual houses, many of them Federation or Victorian, such as "Hillside", "Alston", "Torino" and "Ithiel".
- Mostly R2: About two thirds of Penshurst is zoned R2 Low Density Residential, with R4 High Density Residential land making up most of the rest of the housing zones.
Check whether your lot is inside the conservation area or listed, using the NSW Planning Portal or a planning certificate from Georges River Council, before you settle on a design.
Our services
Services we offer in Penshurst
Home renovations that respect a Federation or Victorian house are often the practical path in the Penshurst conservation area.
Granny flats can add space behind a Penshurst house on R2 land, depending on the lot and any heritage controls.
New homes and knockdown rebuilds suit Penshurst blocks outside the conservation area where demolition is not restricted.
Duplexes depend on the zone and lot size; we check the heritage maps for your Penshurst address first.
Bathroom renovations suit Penshurst's many apartments as well as its houses.
Interior design and architectural design help an addition sit comfortably beside an older Penshurst facade.
