Hello All
Because of the location of our block we have been advised that we will need to upgrade any house we decide to build to a coastal specification?
Apparently there are two types of coastal specs, one is within 1 km of breaking water and the other is within 100 or 200m (depending on who you talk to) of breaking water.
I have been advised that the first type 1km - will be depending on who you talk to anywhere between $5,000 and $15,000 to comply.
The second type we are concerned about, our block is, I think just over 100m from the beachfront but when I called the local shire they said there was only one set of coastal codes we had to build by however the builders are saying otherwise.
Any experiences, knowledge or costings you have would be greatly appreciated
