Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 26, 2011 10:38 pm Hi i was wondering if anybody out there could assist or advise if I’m being ripped off by Sutherland Shire council ? I have bought a Plot including house in 1550m2 and have DA approval to subdivide in to 650m2 & 850m2. The council fees as listed in the DA conditions for relaxation of easements to allow an increased buildable land area / foot print for this relaxation of easement is ~$40k + another $20k for other miscellaneous things like libraries / bus stops / local community improvements etc. Should i contest this with council or is this normal. I tried to research this online but could not find much to reference. Cheers All Tonyi Re: Cost of Relaxation of Easement in the Sutherland Shire 2Jul 09, 2011 3:25 pm Hi Sounds obvious, did you look at the councils website. Most councils will have a list of fees (normally pages and pages of them LOL) Good luck K You should be able to encase the sewer but you will need it designed and approved and access to lot 580 to do the work 2 17168 You might be able to apply to divert the sewer at your expense. In NSW you would contact a Water services co-ordinator and they would give you advice as to whether or not… 1 16148 Thanks - yea sounds like I need to submit build over easement application....ugh guess I better start finding someone who can do the engineering drawings 3 3384 |
