Did you guys do that stepped retaining yourselves? We'll need to do something like that at our place too. The back is fine with a little slope but the front will definitely need it. Yes, I was looking at yours the other day wondering what you were going to do with it. We used Jack from Clearview landscapes for all our retaining - except for the little pine wall up the side, he is a champion and the cheapest we come across by far. _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Ryalls - Coral Homes Noosa 26 - D0dgy Grout? 2808Mar 14, 2017 9:19 am k.goldington So what ended up happening with your grout? Nothing yet, its on our maintenance list - they have 3 weeks to make contact with us since receiving it, true to form its been 2.5 and no contact... thats ok the longer it takes them the more grout related issues i seem to find! I will keep you posted but dont think it will be a quick fix.. _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Ryalls - Coral Homes Noosa 26 - D0dgy Grout? 2809Mar 14, 2017 10:07 am Just a quick question re: your retaining wall is it 1m from your boundary? We've been told lake Mac now require all retaining walls 1m from fence line which means what we'd hoped to be the skinny side of house now needs to be not quite so skinny Re: Ryalls - Coral Homes Noosa 26 - D0dgy Grout? 2810Mar 14, 2017 4:08 pm Ryalls_first_build MrsJM Looks amazing ryalls!! Did you spread all of that topsoil manually? Yours looks waaaaaay more level than ours!! I suspect it has been all of the torrential rain we have had every day for two weeks but ours looks like it has little potholes all over it haha. Bring on topdressing season!! It's made such a difference!! Looks amazing C U S T O M. C O R A L. B R O N T E. 43 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=79581 Thanks Mrs! Yep we did it all manually and by we i mean me 20% hubby 80% lol Yes somehow we manage to dodge the rain although the backyard was like a bogpit while the bobcat man was trying to level it. We just laid the topsoil and rolled it with one of the roller things and raked it heaps... it does looks pretty flat, although i find its a little bumpy now since all the watering.. not sure if thats normal? Yeah the rain is good for turf but not great while you're trying to prep the ground. That's why we had to do the topsoil by hand Yes mine looked perfectly flat to start and as the days went by with the rain, that is when it got bumpy C U S T O M. C O R A L.

We've been told lake Mac now require all retaining walls 1m from fence line which means what we'd hoped to be the skinny side of house now needs to be not quite so skinny Sorry BD just seen this! Ours is 30cm from the boundary. It does say that they have to be 1m but will take into consideration anything less.. stupid coral probably didnt even realise that was the rule and just did it anyway, We didnt have any issues with it. Strange though as i know houses in cameron park have them on the boundary, which would be my preference _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Ryalls - Coral Homes Noosa 26 - D0dgy Grout? 2813Mar 20, 2017 4:40 pm We have our maintenance meeting on Friday...

As it turned out the way the site was cut we did the retaining wall on the boundary for about 9m (otherwise it would be almost hitting the house!) and then went out to a metre where we could. The assessor who came to do our inspection for the occupancy certificate (who was a douche) was like well that won't pass, that's not what's on the plans and against council code blah blah blah If we ever go to sell we'll just get it passed by council then. Oh and we are in Cameron Park. Re: Ryalls - Coral Homes Noosa 26 - D0dgy Grout? 2819Mar 21, 2017 5:56 am Have you seen how close next door's retaining is to our boundary Ryalls? No way that's a metre. Going to make fencing hard I think. Re: Ryalls - Coral Homes Noosa 26 - D0dgy Grout? 2820Mar 21, 2017 8:20 am Not sure about the rule in NSW but here in Victoria; We can have retaining on boundary but needs council permit and engineering report Retaining not on boundary - the height of the retaining wall should not exceed the distance between the wall and the boundary fence..
