Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jun 01, 2017 5:07 pm On looking at our land plans it has some measurements - e.g. FS20.70 which according to the legend means the Finished Building Line Level, and FR20.25 which according to the legend is the Finished Ridge Line Level. There is also a measurement of 18.58 which means the Existing Surface Level. As the block is not yet developed, is this the 'before' measurement vs the finished levels once it is developed? I'm assuming the measurements are metres above sea level? But what do the terms mean? The FS measurements are on the plans at the front and rear of the block, whereas the FR level is only at the front - is that maybe the footpath height? I tried Google but no luck. Thanks.

The finished surface level or FS is the level in which they will leave you after they have completed the engineering on the land. So if the FS is 20.7 and the existing is 18.58, they are bringing in 2.12 metres of fill (soil) on the land. The FR - ridge line - is the point before the land starts sloping down toward your footpath/cross over - this is when you see the driveway slop. (I hope that makes sense!) Re: Land Jargon - what do these terms on the plans mean? 3Jun 15, 2017 4:41 pm Thanks for your explanation. So at the front if the FS19.95 and FR20.31, is the FS the footpath height of 19.95 and the height of the land at the top of the driveway 20.31 (meaning our driveway will have a fall of 0.36m? And the rear FS20.70 means the fall over the area we will be building is 20.70-20.31 (0.39m)? With a total front to back fall of 0.75m? Is there a standard measure of where the Ridge Line is from the footpath boundary (i.e. 4m from footpath)? Total dimensions are 16m frontage x 32m depth.
