Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Jun 20, 2010 3:02 pm Hi all fellow OB's DH and I have finally decided to take the road to OB our house. We own a sloping block in Vic, the builders were becoming too expensive so we decided to do it ourselves. Fingers crossed that this is the right decision we have made We are in the initial stages of preparing a letter to the council for Planning Permit in Vic. This is so that we can get a PRE APPLICATION MEETING with the council before we submit the Full planning permit application. Just wondering if anyone else had to do a Covering Letter/Submission detailing what is proposed, if so any help/guidance will be appreciated. Many thanks Re: Letter for planning application 2Jun 20, 2010 10:09 pm jusrachb Hi all fellow OB's DH and I have finally decided to take the road to OB our house.

Many thanks Hi jusrachb, No such letter was requested from us, we just engaged a surveyor and applied through them. It was all very easy to do and quite quick too. What area are you going to build in? Welcome to OB'ing and good luck with it all.

We are building in the city of Knox (which is known for being strict) and we have some restrictions in place as we are going to be close to the national forest. Hoping and praying that all will go smoothly Re: Letter for planning application 5Jun 23, 2010 8:51 pm jusrachb, it might help if you outline the planning requirements which are affecting your property. I'm guessing it's a vegetation/environmental type overlay if it's in Knox.
