A knockdown rebuild in Lane Cove North is worth weighing against the redevelopment options, because this suburb bordering Artarmon and Chatswood is seeing significant R3 and R4 activity around Mowbray Road and the St Leonards and Crows Nest Metro precincts. The 2024 Crows Nest Metro SEPP TOD overlay reaches the south-eastern portion, opening real density.
On the detached streets away from that, Federation, inter-war and post-war homes on 500 to 800m² blocks suit a straightforward rebuild. But where your block sits inside the TOD overlay or on R3/R4 land, a townhouse or apartment project can beat a single rebuild, so I show you those numbers first where it applies.
The ground is Class M sandstone on the ridge, grading Class H to E on the river fall, so the slab is designed off a real geotech. The older stock can carry asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.

Rebuild or redevelop — check the overlay

Sandstone ridge and river fall
The Class M sandstone ridge grades Class H to E on the river fall, so the slab is designed off a real geotech for your block. The older stock can carry asbestos and lead paint, so a licensed strip-out leads the demolition.
I check the zoning and the TOD overlay first, because the right product genuinely swings on where your block sits.
