A bit of background....we are lucky enough to have a large block of land which we have subdivided and will sell 3 blocks to help fund our dream home (+120m driveway). Subdivision has been approved but not yet finalised (hopefully titles will be issued end of this year). Drawings for the shared driveway and all the services are in at council awaiting their approval.
Anyway because it has already taken us over 3 years to get to this point we thought we would try to speed things up by putting our house plans in before the subdivision is finalised as we will have to wait 6-8 months for a builder. Our planner has been really good and very understanding but I just want to throttle someone at council .....anyone!
It has been over 8 weeks since we put our DA for the house in....it's meant to be approved in 6....and it still hasn't been advertised! So I contacted our planner last week to see what the problem was. Apparently they are waiting on more infromation from the engineer for the driveway for our house. So I email our house designer and the engineer. Designer says he knows nothing....it must be a problem with the engineer. Finally heard back from the engineer today, who says he has given everything to council, it must be the designers problem?????
Ok so have emailed engineer back to clarify a few things...but problem most probably ****** with council departments not talking to each other! Oh and I forgot to mention that I spoke to the head of civil engineering at council over a month ago about some further information he had apparently requested (according to the planner) ....he knew nothing about it and now is away on long service leave.
I just want it done. I am so, so tired of this.
Sorry everyone I just needed to have a good vent.
I know it will all get there in the end, but it has already been such a long and tiring road to get to this point, I don't know if I will have the energy to deal with the stress of building.
