Builder Strathfield, Strathfield
Strathfield is the LGA's namesake premium heritage estate — Federation mansions, inter-war Tudor and Spanish Mission heritage on 700–1,500m² R2 blocks. Heritage Conservation Areas cover virtually all older streets — heritage assessment is the first step before any KDR or duplex feasibility. Heaviest demolition scrutiny in inner-west Sydney.
