Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 942Oct 07, 2018 2:17 am Hi Guys, I saw some builders today and was advised 270sqm is the maximum area I can build. This includes void, alfresco, garage etc ? He advised I can build a house that is around 33sq which is 305sqm. Is this possible given restriction of 270sqm max area ?

Thr information from your builder is correct. 33sq is the max size for you. 270 excludes void and alfresco, but include half garage (if you having double garage) Building Wentworth 33 CDC lodged to Council : 22 June 2018 Site excavation 31 July 2018 Slab 08 Aug 2018 Frame 22 Aug 2018 Roof 10 Sep 2018 Brick 24 Sep 2018 Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 945Oct 09, 2018 9:55 pm wentworth33 thecube Hi Guys, I saw some builders today and was advised 270sqm is the maximum area I can build.

No such thing. Bardia and Glenfield both are under Campbelltown Council. I am building a 43 square size home on a 532sqm block, and will be putting through a variation request. A larger home CAN be done, just has to have valid reasons for going above the restrictions. In terms of guidelines look up the Edmonson Park DCP, which will explain your limitations in greater detail (link below) https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&sour ... lRZvhZgLNw Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 949Oct 10, 2018 9:45 pm Cooky I am building a 43 square size home on a 532sqm block, and will be putting through a variation request.

Unfortunately, CDC wont take my plans purely on the basis of it going over the allowed 330sqm. Whilst all other components and design elements are compliant, the large size of the house makes it non compliant and therefore, I have to submit the variation request. My land doesn't register until March next yr though so not concerned about going with DA due to timing. Lucky you got yours through CDC! Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 951Oct 11, 2018 1:56 am thecube My apologies, It's Glenfield DCP - Campbeltown Council. He said there are 3 DCPs to choose from - one of which is Glenfield DCP. This is used to best suit the house plan we chose. I wasnt aware of 3 DCPs, will look this up! Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 952Oct 11, 2018 8:39 am Please let me know because the builder insists max floor area is 244sqm. (excluding void, stairs garage etc) - 2 builders have advised me that. But another builder told me I can build up to 270sqm floor area (excluding void, stairs etc). I prefer to build a bigger home if I can. Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 953Oct 11, 2018 8:51 am thecube Please let me know because the builder insists max floor area is 244sqm.

I've read through this entire thread, and your advice and input has been so invaluable. My husband and I put down a deposit for 400 sqm block in the Park side release over the weekend, but after reading this thread I realised that we wouldn't be able to build the size house we're after on the same land and have now changed to a 530 sqm corner plot (lot 129), three plots down from the original land we had wanted. It's still within a walking distance to the school and the town centre/station, but does come with some further conditions. Is anyone building on a corner? I'm curious to see houses on similar size and shaped land. Hi Cooky, I am on a corner, Lot 4049 (2 Pakchon Street). My lot is 100 sqm smaller that the one you have and mine came with high slope, sewer line, maintenance easement....so basically a lot of hoops to jump thru and pay up for. Mine is a single level house...what are you planning? Cheers. Hi IamSam, Do you know the owners of Lot 4048 next to you on Pakchon St?
