Defits Five Dock

Who we help in Five Dock

We work with outgoing tenants, office managers, retailers, restaurant operators and landlords handling make-goods throughout Five Dock and surrounding streets. Being only 5 km from our Homebush base, our crews mobilise quickly, know local access and parking constraints, and understand how the local council and building managers expect work to be carried out.

Defits in Five Dock: local conditions we plan for

Five Dock sits in Inner West waterfront pocket, five kilometres north of our Homebush base and falls under City of Canada Bay Council. Inter-war and postwar brick dominate the inland streets, with grand waterfront homes along the foreshore from Drummoyne through to Abbotsford. The Great North Road and First Avenue commercial strips add a layer of retail and small-commercial demolition work.

Foreshore Building Lines, sediment controls and the Metro West construction works (where alignment passes through Five Dock station) all shape the local approval landscape. For Five Dock tenancies, defits are planned around the landlord's make-good schedule and the building's loading dock and lift rules, so works finish before your lease end date.

Local rules and site factors in Five Dock:

• Foreshore Building Line restrictions on waterfront properties
• Sediment and stormwater controls on any sloping block
• Heritage overlays through several pockets of the suburb
• Metro West works create occasional access disruption

Typical jobs we're called for in Five Dock:

• Waterfront and near-waterfront house demolitions
