We are going to have to pay a fire levy for the area that we are building in - anyone know exactly what that includes with the build? I've asked Boutique but thought I'd ask here as well. Tia
We had one in our estate (Bushfire provision) but when it was developed I keep on asking Dept that classifies the area as bushfire zone to declassify it as bushfire prone area I succeeded and saved me 4.8k (single storey)
The provision includes.
1. Roof Sarking.
2. Whirly bird.
3. Steel mesh rather than nylon on screens.
4. Ember guards.
5. Fireproof steel pipes for gas lines etc.
Forgot the other stuff but those are the critical ones.
Thanks so much! This is the excellent info. We only have to pay because we will be building within first 4 months of land titling - after that the fire levy is expected to be unnecessary.
I will ask again closer to titling (not for another 4 months). Hopefully we can avoid the payment as it's $6,500! Eek
