Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 04, 2010 8:04 pm hey there everyone has anyone here built in an area where all of your plans, elevations etc, have to be approved by the developer before they are allowed to go to council we are in this situation at the moment whereby the developer must approve everything before is can be sent to council so my question is for anyone else who has done this, does this speed up the council approval or does it still take 12 weeks or whatever it is for it to happen Re: Developers and Council 2Jan 04, 2010 8:29 pm I was under the impression that developers act as agents for the council anyway, so it all gets done in one hit. I could be totally wrong of course. It seems a bit overkill if it has to go through two separate approval processes. We are building in Botanic Ridge, Cranbourne South. From what we've heard the developers are somewhat strict on their requirements but we aren't up to that milestone yet so fingers are crossed http://burbankascent2500.blogspot.com/ https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28503 [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/] HOUSE COMPLETED IN 119 DAYS PCI Complete Handover 24th August Re: Developers and Council 3Jan 04, 2010 8:34 pm We have to submit to both, separately. We're building at Stonecutters Ridge in the Sydney area. Built on a golf course (by Medallist) we're required to submit to the developer to adhere to neighbourhood guidelines (ie. roof colour, landscape plan, garage location etc.) - stuff that the council wouldn't care about. Once approved by the developer, it's then on to council. We got our developer approval Christmas Eve, and we're submitting to council this week.

I think this is now common on new developments. The idea is that the council tells the developer what is acceptable and what is not then put the workload onto the developer who has had to go through the process with all of the builders for meeting all of the design guidelines. It still goes to council after that but it should be a 2-3 week process with them rather than the 12 weeks.
