DA Approval!

4.2 weeks later we have approval to build!

We have a DA!

DA finally submitted on 15 October and hoping for the estimated 4 weeks until we hear... countdown is on!

Then we continue full steam ahead!

You put the plans back in, you take the plans back out. In, Out, In, Out...

Adhering to the finite rules of a developer can be a challenge, but it will all be worth it.

Wall height exceeded, change colours here, more planting there... Change the roof, roof pitch too low, either way we'll get it through!

Lets try Revision D!

Final Changes To Plans Confirmed

Just made the last few amendments to our plans. Should have the elevations and detailed plans late next week.

Hopefully we should be ready for submission to the developer/council in early September!

Surveyors, Geotech's and Engineers, Oh My

We have had the surveyor out to check the block and all is well.

The Services Protection Report has confirmed the location of Sewer and Stormwater Mains. By all accounts it looks like we are out of trouble there! We were a little nervous about the location of the Sewer, but all is ok.

Some more good news, our Geotech report has come back with a Site Classifcation of "Class A" as there is bedrock at 0.8m below NGL which means we should require less piering and it shouldn't interfere in the Zone of Influence of the Sewer.

Got Myself A Bargain

Was checking our GraysOnline.com.au the other night and found me a bargain!

Picked up a new Blanco 900mm Free Standing Cooker for under $1500, will look great in our new kitchen!

Settlement... Finally

After many months of waiting we have finally settled!

Now the fin begins, time to get the design and plans finalised ready for developer/council approval.
