C27 The Valley includes the civic buildings and the commercial zone of Rozelle on both sides of Victoria Road, and land east of the Darling Street ridge beyond it. C26 Iron Cove runs from Victoria Road along the back of the Darling Street commercial zone. Ask the council which, if any, covers the address before you plan works.

Inner West Council puts Rozelle in its foreshore catchments, which drain directly to the Parramatta River or Sydney Harbour, and describes its flooding as generally flash flooding.

Why a buyers agent
Between the conservation areas, the Metro works and the new interchange, two homes a few streets apart in Rozelle can differ a lot. A buyers agent who works the inner west checks each home on your shortlist against all three, prices it against the sales closest to it, and negotiates or bids at auction for you.
Inner West Council's C27 and C26 both cover parts of Rozelle. An agent checks the address before you bid.
Sydney Metro lists tunnelling at The Bays running around the clock, with the line targeted to open in 2032. An agent weighs how close each home is to the works.
At the 2021 Census, Rozelle's homes were split across terraces, apartments and houses. An agent compares them against your budget and plans.
Revenue NSW charges first home buyers no transfer duty on a home up to $800,000, and a reduced amount below $1,000,000. An agent with your conveyancer checks whether the home you choose qualifies before you exchange.
