I am trying to make sense of the Rainwater Garden/Surge Pit situation, my builder (Beechwood) is telling me its up to me to organise, My landscaper thinks its nothing and you just note the space on your plans, Solicitor has pointed it out as my responsibility and council wont return a phone call. Would love some feedback on this. Happy Building everyone. Bella Re: Building in Mapleton Grove, Kellyville North? 32Mar 11, 2014 11:17 am Hi Bella, I'm on lot 322 and building with Rawson Homes. In my tender they have included costing for rain garden filter pit under council conditions. Maybe Beechwood don't do rain gardens. In that case you might have to get it done yourself. Not sure what the process is but I've seen some people submitted plans done by a hydraulic engineer for council submission in the council website. Hope this helps......

Yes they're all approved and we're ready to go Meeting the builder on site on Saturday How about you? Re: Building in Mapleton Grove, Kellyville North? 36Mar 11, 2014 12:05 pm Milano319 Hey Landlubber, Good to spot another neighbour! Our builder said we're going through CDC however the process seems to be mighty long. Not sure 100% about CDC approval requiring a corner facade, our builders made us have one saying it was a requirement. About the bush fire.. We were recently asked to pay $700 for a BAL certificate, this will determine the bush fire prone nature of the area. We're waiting until building almost commences to ask about the slab, not having too much joy with them at the moment. Are you building a single dwelling or a duplex? Good luck Hi Milano, I am your neighbour at Lot 318 Jadine - we got a fire certificate for $330 if anyone needs details let me know. We are consider low risk. I got notification of your plans from council you must be getting close to slab being poured i hope. Hopefully see you out on site soon. Bella Re: Building in Mapleton Grove, Kellyville North? 37Mar 11, 2014 12:09 pm ow exciting! My plans are with the developer still, I am pushing them along as quick as I can.. I had an overseas trip that slowed the process down a bit. Ill be out on Saturday hopefully our paths will cross and we can do a formal introduction.

I just asked our architect about a fire cert and he said we don't need to do that till after we build??

Bella Hi Milano and Bella, What rating did you get in your fire certificate? Is it BAL 12.5 or is it no requirement? I have a provision in my tender for BAL 12.5. Hope I won't be needing it...... Re: Building in Mapleton Grove, Kellyville North? 40Mar 11, 2014 9:54 pm ChristinaG_310 Heya, Yes we share corners with that block! It's a slab home so it's all made of slabs! I think it's going to be a display home for a little while. Looks like we'll be building the same time who are you building with? We're lot310 mapleton grove (facing the property with the huge shed). Have you heard anything regarding that block we face being sold? Hi Christina, I haven't heard anything about that block being sold, it is rather unsightly with all the trucks and tankers parked out back hey. I guess in time they might sell to a developer and subdivide the property for a new estate. I did see a council application for a new dwelling one or two doors down from that property It seems like it may be another year or two before the whole North Kellyville area is built up and completed. We received our first rates notice from Council the other week...its still just a plot of dirt so don't understand how they justify sending out rates notices Do you have a start date for your build as yet? We are about to enter the 20 working day delay period, then our builder should start construction by end of March, early April. It feels like such a long and drawn out process.
