The amendment states "No dwelling shall be constructed on lot xxxx where the specified floor level is less than 55.2 metres AHD" I looked at the subdivision plan that we have and I can't work out what our current AHD is. Has anyone built a house with the floor level around 55 metres AHD? Is this a cause for concern? 55m AHD just means 55 metres above what has been agreed is the sea level. You need to get a feature level survey done to establish how high above ground level your floors need to be. This will cost you around $1000. It is a requirement for getting a building permit anyway. The surveyor will put a nail in the road outside your house and mark the level above AHD that this is on his survey, then your builder can make all the other levels relative to this.
