Neutral Bay’s Unique Features
Many Neutral Bay properties are apartments or townhouses with compact outdoor spaces. We specialise in maximising small decking areas — building beautifully designed decks that make every square metre count.

- Courtyard decks — transforming unused courtyards into outdoor living spaces
- Rooftop terraces — increasingly popular in Neutral Bay’s denser pockets
North Sydney Council Requirements
Neutral Bay falls under North Sydney Council. Standard exempt development rules apply for decks under 1m and under 20m². For strata properties, body corporate approval is also required — we’ll guide you through this process.
