Building or renovating in Canada Bay?

Canada Bay follows the Parramatta River foreshore, with a mix of established riverside homes and higher-density pockets around Concord and Five Dock.

Common projects we see in Canada Bay: pools, renovations, secondary dwellings, and duplexes.

Worth checking early: riverside precincts near the Parramatta River can carry a foreshore or flood overlay.
