Did you hear back from them today. Yes the west wallsend design guidelines are pretty strict. Hope coral get it sorted like they should have in the first place. Im trying not to get too upset but the part that annoys me most is that it looks as though they have simply submitted it council as if it were a normal DA not taking into consideration the requirement guidelines.. Starting to wonder if they even read the book lol Yes i cant believe how strict they are.. Us being first time builders / land owners never realised the impact the guidelines would have. I feel bad for my poor sc who seems to be stuck in the middle.. but if she gave me there number id yell at them instead lol I sent her a pretty abrupt email so waiting for a reply _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Our Forever home - Coral Homes Noosa 26 at West Wallsend 103Mar 03, 2016 6:42 am Off to meet with council this afternoon to sort out some of the issues that Coral cant seem to get a handle on..

I know they are abit over the top.. but we knew that when we bought there so are happy to do our best to comply, I'm just annoyed at Coral as I honestly believe they haven't even read the estate guidelines.. There answer to everything is to remove the front veranda and as you probably know the veranda is compulsory! I feel bad trying to take over but i've given them two weeks and we haven't really moved forward, so the control freak in me has taken over lol _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Our Forever home - Coral Homes Noosa 26 at West Wallsend 108Mar 03, 2016 7:11 am Lol i think your right they have not even glanced at the guidelines. You lasted longer then me well done I would have lasted a week at most. Coral need a kick in the pants to get things moving for you.

Hahah im suprised i lasted this long too, silly me actually trusted that they were onto it until she called to say just get rid ofthe veranda then i realised i was on my own lol I have a feeling this is going to be one disaster after another.. remind me again why anyone would build? _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Our Forever home - Coral Homes Noosa 26 at West Wallsend 110Mar 03, 2016 9:08 am Just think of the end product this will all be a bad memory when your standing in your awesome house which be everything and more then you imagined. Just make surr you talk to the right person at council as they can sometimes give you a bum steer as well. Do they still have a designated person that handles all ATG?

We were lucky there was no guidelines for us really. Good luck with council! Get them to put something in writing for you too.

Which is fine although i wish i knew a few months ago so i could put abit more thought into it. Ive printed out a couple of landscape plans that others have submitted to council so will be able to put something together.. I thought it would be best to talk to the council rep this arvo to find out exactly what he wants first. _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Our Forever home - Coral Homes Noosa 26 at West Wallsend 116Mar 03, 2016 10:52 am If you need any help putting a plan together let me know, I'm a graphic designer so can mock something up for you from an existing plan with grass, trees etc. Re: Our Forever home - Coral Homes Noosa 26 at West Wallsend 117Mar 03, 2016 11:01 am KLB If you need any help putting a plan together let me know, I'm a graphic designer so can mock something up for you from an existing plan with grass, trees etc. Oh really?
