I had to settle on a slightly smaller block than I wanted but looking forward to my first building experience and my first home. Ended up with a 445m2 corner block.

We are not happy as we specifically picked a block with no noise/bush fire requirements To put a positive spin on it......hopefully the 6.38mm (minimum) laminated glazing to all habitable rooms will help keep heating/cooling cost down. Also, did you read the Mechanical ventilation/air conditioning requirements? We have Refrigerative Reverse Cycle air conditioning included in our build but I know a lot of people go with Evaporative because of cost. Its such a mind field......They don't make it easy do they?!

No email from Stockland here? Mind copying and pasting here so i can have a read? I concur - was advised by Stockland last weekend about the 6.38mm glazing requirement - impression i was given was it was a council requirement. Though with the mechanical ventilation requirements etc sounds like they've extended the noise requirements to cover the entire estate... I feel sorry for the people stretching to get in and building cheaper houses. This will add significant cost to their houses!
