Congrats RsZr, that's two of us in stage 9 that have signed this month.
Been a very expensive month

Soontir · Dec 20, 2015 3:02 pm

SWGC, anybody seen the building requirements under this new area?

Stage 9 here also eagerly waiting for land registration. What's the chance of land being done before June?

Any chance of posting this up, would really like to read it

Hi Soontir! Not a problem. I am at work at the moment however will try remember when i get home. It is basically saying that we are now with camden council and not Campbelltown. It does not say change of suburb etc though so i am not sure what the address is now.

Soontir · Dec 22, 2015 9:33 am

That would be interesting.
Would that mean that the building requirements change under this?
I hope it doesn't, as we just laid a deposit down for the house, and under Camden council, I've been told it can not be built.....

Update, Camden council confirmed it's rezoned
Just waiting to hear back about their build requirements, especially the FSR.....

I was offered a block with 1.5m easement on the side and back ...this is for drain water easement ...what r the pros n cons of such a block...can we ask for a discount on such a block...given that nearly 70 sq mt is reserved for these easement requirements (in addition to standard easement)

You will not get a discount on the block considering such a block would already be valued less then a block with the absence of the easements.
However this section of the block may still be utilized for general landscaping etc. and you may build a shed or such an item within the easement boundary only to have an extra charge and/or damage to the items should council perform any emergency repair/maintenance.
Pros are you can still use the section for anything that can be removed, Cons you cant build a pool up to the fence line, I have a 1.5m easement at the back of our block also so I have to result in getting a narrow pool on the side of the house (The troubles we live with lol). On the other hand I have never seen council come and destroy someones land to perform any works (If anyone has please share).

Ditto, but 900mm easement on mine. If you are concerned about comparative price, just work it out per square M compared to a block without an easement in the same release, that will give you an idea of the valuation with easement

0.9m is still ok for you and my situation is worse as there is an 2meters easement on the left hand side boundary.
Is the value of your land affected or not when doing the valuation by the bank?

We received the same letter. It doesn't affect our house build as we are at lockup. But we have submitted a DA request last week for a pool to Campbelltown Council only to receive a letter from Camden that we are located in their area now and have been so since November 27. Of course, Campbelltown didn't tell us this was in the works and were happy to accept their DA fee! Apparently they will return the DA application to us and we have to resubmit to Camden! Very unhappy at the lost time and additional cost.

katieogi1 · Dec 22, 2015 3:06 pm

Hi Marko, so if they have commenced building, we dont need to resubmit?

Soontir · Dec 22, 2015 4:15 pm

Also means our rates will go up, please correct me of I'm wrong

katieogi1 · Dec 22, 2015 4:19 pm

I doubt there would be a big variation in the council rates anyhow?

Marko56 · Dec 22, 2015 6:31 pm

I believe so Katie. Your builder can confirm.

katieogi1 · Dec 22, 2015 6:37 pm

They've gone on holidays! Damn! In terms of building, whilst i know the builder is off until mid jan- des anyone know if the sub contractors will commence earlier (i.e. will they not work if the builder is on holiday still)?

Marko56 · Dec 22, 2015 7:47 pm

Our building supervisor (Eden Brae) will be back on deck on January 5 and our kitchen is to be installed January 8. Before then all the finishing (architraves, skirtings etc) will be installed so we expect that many trades will be back early January.

katieogi1 · Dec 22, 2015 7:53 pm

Ok cool thank you for sharing that 😊 just as we have just got our slab down and now the xmas break haha need some more progress! Yours has gone fairly quick!when did you start building?

Marko56 · Dec 22, 2015 9:24 pm

We started in September. EB have been really good and our supervisor is great. Quality of work has been excellent.
