Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 12, 2016 9:33 pm Hi hoping someone can help - our HIA contract states that the Owner must obtain "Planning Approval". When I google it and check on the Hume website I only get "Planning Permit" Is it the same thing? Are we likely to obtain it within 21 days as stipulated on our contract? We haven't signed it yet and we bought a block of land in an Estate which titles next week. Hoping someone can give some advice!

Do you mean haven't signed 'the contract' yet... or the deeds to the land title? Re: Planning Approval in Hume?? 4May 25, 2016 12:03 pm Leonardo_23 Sounds like the same thing to me.

Our Builder applied for the building permit so we are just assuming if it is really required then the Council will notify us for it (as it is required before a building permit can be provided) We have since signed the Build Contract and our land has titled. It is not the first time we have built and I don't remember doing this before so it is a bit of an odd one... Give Jonathan a call. Tell him you know me.
