West Gordon borders Lane Cove National Park — a significant bushland reserve that harbours termite colonies foraging into residential streets.
Gordon has a unique mix of 1920s–1950s heritage homes and 1970s–1990s family homes — many with timber subfloors and hardwood framing.
Multiple bushland corridors run through Gordon, connecting Lane Cove National Park to residential streets and providing termite highways.
The Lane Cove River and its tributaries maintain high soil moisture through Gordon — ideal conditions for Coptotermes colony expansion.

Heritage homes are particularly vulnerable because original timber framing is often untreated. We use non-invasive thermal imaging to detect activity without damaging heritage features.
