Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 23, 2010 8:10 pm Hi everybody, Came across this info packed forum searching for various things in relation to a new pile of bricks on a dirt patch my wife and I have become indebted to. I was wondering have any members built with Stockland's before? Even in the Bayswood Estate in Vincentia NSW https://www.stockland.com.au/home-and-l ... yswood.htm In particular I am interested to know how lenient Stocklands are with their building requirements. for instance I am 250mm short of the 1m (requirement) that the garage needs to be behind the commencement of the house. I am going to charged around $1000 just to get a quote and do not wish to proceed if the house plan may not even get off the ground. I have heard Stocklands has relaxed some of it's requirements. Anyone had any first hand experience with Stocklands building or similar building requirements imposed by estates and if so have you had any success with arguing a case against the recommended requirements? Don't get me wrong, we do like what Stocklands has set for the benchmark for the coastal/bush theme of the estate, just want to know how flexible such building requirements may be if the overall theme of the house is still in keeping with the estate?
