But you did offer to answer questions, so can you advise why you are going through council? Is it because your home size exceeds the prima facie floor area limits? Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 613Mar 27, 2018 1:12 pm absep19 Hi Folks, Assuming many are at same stage for April rego. and I am trying to get ducks in order, I have 2 questions to ask. You may be in same boat or from past experience you may have some recommendations... 1. My builder Rawson asked me for a landscaping plan before they go to council. I understand this to be done after registration but it make sense to get the company finalised. Did anyone have any recommendations on which company/group/landscaper can provide that and how much did they quote you for it? 2. I have flexibility to get my bush fire report outside of my builder. Rawson told me it would be couple of hundred of dollars without exact amount until yet. An outside vendor quoted $330 for CDC and $660 for DA. I am going through council,so 660 is my benchmark at the moment. Does anyone has any other vendor that I can touch base with and if you know how much they cost? Ask me your questions and I will be able to answer some of them as well. BTW, I have got second email from Dahua stating my lot will go in for mid April for rego, along with few other onwners in the list. Who else has got it? Regards Bas Hi Bas, Based on my journey so far... 1) For sake of the CDC/DA approval, my builder submitted a standard landscaping plan adapted to my lot. 2) My builder obtained the the bush fire (BAL assessment) report and it is from an agency called "Harris Environmental Consulting". My lot is 4049 and got BAL of 12.5. I have a turnkey package from builder hence specific charges for this report are not known.

But you did offer to answer questions, so can you advise why you are going through council? Is it because your home size exceeds the prima facie floor area limits? Hi Icthys99, I evaluated CDC option. but with the setbacks, I cannot build the size of house and plan I wanted. So I chose Council and this might still be possible. Only downside is the council time to approve, but given that I am going to live there, I want to maximise and ready to wait few more weeks. CDC is pretty straight forward, but with council you have few option to play around things. I wasn't able to get PPOS as directed it endmondson DCP under CDC and so I had to compromise on the length of house to achieve that. With DCP, my front setback is only 3m, and it worked out. Once you have design in mind, speak with you builder where you will have to compromise minimum. However if everything works out design wise for you, I will recommend CDC. You will have ball rolling much faster.

If so, generally the landscaping is included. If not, what do you mean by standard landscaping plan. I can check with Rawson if they have anything of such they can use here.

If so, generally the landscaping is included. If not, what do you mean by standard landscaping plan. I can check with Rawson if they have anything of such they can use here. I bought land from New Breeze and the quote from my builder is for house only and does not include actual landscaping. The CDC/DA plans require a high level landscaping plan and the details for this were drawn-up by my builder based upon standard/common choices. See attached image. The actual landscaping will be different depending upon $ remaining and needs to be done within 6 months of completion as per the bond with New Breeze.

As you say, for something to live in, I don't mind the wait. So is your home size much bigger than the standard rules? Some builders are telling me I can fit a much larger home (like 20% more than allowed), but still within set backs and site coverage per the rules) and that this will pass through council. Should I be trusting the builders when they say this? Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 619Mar 27, 2018 1:56 pm The pier allowance for my lot was 65 lineal mt. and the actual turned up under 60.
