Was talking to a builder today and was told that entire Aston is now Bush Fire Levy free or in other words there is no BAL costs anymore. I think this is fantastic. I am not building in Aston though. I am going to build in Mt Aitken and there I have to pay BAL costs which are coming to around $7000. Sounds like this is very high. Any one would like to comment whether BAL cost is that high? Best Regards Re: Building in Aston Craigieburn 597Mar 23, 2014 8:59 pm shoaib Hi Guys, Hope everyone is doing well.

Best Regards I am sure the 4.5k that we didn't have to pay was the lowest rating so I am guessing the next one up would have been the 7k I remember reading about them somewhere and there is different BAL ratings. Do a search and I am sure you will find something about it and whole explanation of what each rating covers.

Best Regards BAL cost varies, so it depends on what's rating for your land. Mt Atkin has higher site cost, that why we decided to pass. Developers covenants are expensive too. You basically can't choose anything from builder's standard range. Bricks, roof tiles, roof pitch everything was upgrade in our case. I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 46340 Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed.
