Hi! I have a question and I’m not sure if this is a common issue. We live on a sub divided block which was established as a SP in the 1990s in Hornsby council. Our block (front) is a freestanding house and there is a duplex behind us on the rear block. Our block is approx 500sqm. Land is zoned as R2.
From a strata perspective, the owners manage everything – there’s not strata fees or sinking fund or overarching strata management. It’s really just a sub-division.
I want to put a pool in on our block – we have a courtyard at the rear which is dying for a makeover – approx 71sqm.
Does anyone know if this pool can be approved by CDC or if it would require a full DA?
Thanks in advance!

According to this government fact sheet, swimming pools can be complying developments, meaning they can be fast-tracked provided a certifier has signed off on the plans.
However, since your sub-division is technically a strata scheme, you may need to get a surveyor to work out if there is any common property involved. If there is, you will need to register a by-law taking responsibility for the elements of common property that are affected by the pool.
