Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Jul 12, 2017 7:27 pm Our land size is 478 sqm and we are building a house in Blacktown council area with total floor area of 410.79 sqm. Below is the breakdown: Balcony 13.51 Garage 33.64 Ground Floor Living 157.28 First Floor Living 176.23 Outdoor Living 15.36 (dimensions 3.8 x 4) Porch 14.77 After handover, we intend to extend the outdoor living (3.8 x 4) on left side by 3.8 x 4.5 and right side by 3.8 x 3.3 and lay tiles on the entire outdoor living area. So my questions are 1. Is this something that requires council approval and is it likely to get approved? 2. I have been looking for options and have come across james hardy product: http://scyon.com.au/products/secura-exterior-flooring and Hebel Powerfloor http://hebel.com.au/product/powerfloor/. I am certainly NOT looking to DIY. Are there any other options? Re: Extending outdoor living after handover 2Aug 02, 2017 11:14 pm 1. I think you would be over floor space ratio and not be approved. But thats one for council. If you even go to council...... 2. If you dont have any crazy slope try to put down a concrete slab. If you are going to tile.... this way you can tile with any colour and not.worry about thermal expansion!! A black tile.externally on scyon or decking will at some point delaminate here n there.. it happens very often... direct on a slab its not going anywhere! However With regards to tiling you have a few options Tile the alfresco.. And use pavers in lieu of tiles. If done right with drainage you should have no issues. You can get 40mm stone.or porcelain pavers with matching 10-12 tile.. So both areas will be same finish! I believe as its "soft" paving you wont need council approval Any questions pm me. This is what i specialise in... Re: Extending outdoor living after handover 3Aug 03, 2017 9:31 am ja-mez 1. I think you would be over floor space ratio and not be approved. But thats one for council.
