My garage is built on a 100mm thick concrete slab. The land surveyor has advised that the FFL of the garage is 95.19m at the front and 95.20m at the rear.As per the planning permit the flood level is 95.3m related to AHD.The condition on the permit states that the FFL is to be 0.15m above the flood level,therefore the min FFL should be 95.45m.The FFLas constructed is 95.19m which is 0.26m below the required level. Did you build the garage after the planning permit was issued? If so, I suggest you rebuild your garage in accordance with your planning permit. If you ignore the conditions on your planning permit you can expect to be made to tear it down and start again until it meets the conditions! If the garage was not subject to the planning permit because it pre-dates it then it is none of Melbourne Water's business how high it is.

But Melbourne water only wanted something the original size of the existing house. We managed to fit a 45sq house on. 10 33612 |
