More council dilemmas

We were told yesterday that council needed more information as our house is in a bushfire prone area as well as our alfresco has privacy issues.

We already knew about the bushfire requirements so that was okay. In regards to the alfresco, council gave us the option of lowering the roof or installing privacy screens. We have decided to install privacy screens after handover.

Hopefully after this everything gets approved!

Client Variation 1

We have encountered our first problem today. We were told that because our alfresco is less than 2m from the boundary, drop edge beams would be required! We have been thinking about this problem all day and have decided to move our house closer to the other boundary so that the drop edge beam will not be required. This will cost us an extra $1000 to change the plans. Fingers crossed everything goes well.

DA lodged

Our DA was lodged into council today. We are one step closer to building!
