Development applications in Glebe and Forest Lodge, from July 2025

By the Heritage Subcommittee, Bulletin 6/2025 updated monthly

The Heritage Subcommittee reviews the City of Sydney’s website for Development Applications (DAs) each week, to see if there are any heritage issues that should be commented on. For member’s interest here is a list of recent DAs in Glebe and Forest Lodge, showing the closing date for making of submission.  More details about each one are available on the City of Sydney Council website.

Brian Fuller, Tim Hesketh and Rodney Hammett are working on guidelines for members to use if they want to send a submission on a DA to the City of Sydney. Tim and Brian are both trialling an AI-generated response which might provide a starting point for personalising any submission.
