We had a great contract signing on Friday, everything we wanted is within out budget except Cat. 2 carpet, which we were thinking of dropping anyway but.... there has to be a but.... our Lot became a Bushfire prone area and now we have to pay another $4600 for that... yay! NOT! and the lot across the street that we didn't want is NOT Bushfire prone area, now how ridiculous is that?
Tell me about it, we are 0.5meter from one corner to Bushfire Prone area and have to pay $5238. Fight a lot but at the end its Govt. regulations cant do much about it....
Well apparently now land sales have to let you know whether your lot is in a bushfire prone area when you buy your land, which I think is great, if we knew ours was we would have bought the lot across the road which is not... both lots were the same price!
