Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 830Aug 16, 2015 1:55 pm Kpatto1 Hi Morgan, We have bought in the same part as you. Which block are you on? We're building with wisdom and they haven't mentioned any of that. All they've said is that the garage needs to be on the right hand side of the block but thats about it. They definitely haven't mentioned the letterbox and garage being on different street frontages. I'll definitely look into it now. Hi Kpatto, we're block 116 (previously 121 I think) it only seems to be the corner blocks that front onto 'Road 1' that have the driveway marked on the side road so if you're not on Road 1 I wouldn't be too worried! Debam Bingara Hi Morgan, We are currently building with Masterton in Bingara (Highlands) Our neighbour has a corner block & both the garage & front door are on the same side, but another housefurther down the street has garage one side & entry another then the house across the street from them has them on the same side. So I don't know what the "rules" are LL tend to be a little stupid some times. Although different precincts do have different BSR's. Just a warning on registration, don't expect it to happen when they tell you as all registrations in the last 2 years have had significant delays, ours was 6 months. If you are on Facebook there is a page for Bingara residents & someone on there may have more of an idea what you are reuired to do. Hi Debam, Hopefully LL approve our plan as it's submitted as after all the messing around with moving the garage we've actually ended up with a floorplan we really love even more than the original! Unfortunately I don't have facebook to be able to join the group Thanks!!

Just sent you a PM but looks like its still in outbox. Keen to swap plans and have a look at what you guys did to yours. The plan has a lot of potential for modification and is a great design to work off.

I've heard yet again our registration date has been delayed to June-September 2017? Anyone else considering pulling out of the contract? Building Majestic 40 at Bingara Gorge Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 837Jun 11, 2016 9:09 pm Hi All Just wondering if anyone can help me with a question I have. Currently looking to purchase a property in the Greenbridge section, already established house. My question is regarding fencing on a corner lot - can I make a fence bigger? We have dogs that jump with ease, so the current 1.2m fencing is inadequate, and it also provides absolutely NO privacy. We would want to change it to 1.8m fencing. From what I understand, since its a corner lot, the fencing has different rules. Has anyone had luck with getting fencing changed? I dont want to change the whole lot, the front would stay the same. Just the side and rear fencing. As its just for us, I would not be asking either neighbour for payment, since its my requirement. If I were to hide such a fence with hedges, would that be ok? Hope this all makes sense! We fell in love with the house and want it, but I won't get rid of the dogs just for a house. Thank you! Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 838Jun 12, 2016 12:02 pm I would contact LL and ask them for the response in writing. You probably shouldn't as the Building and Siting Requirements would only allow for the current fence, but who knows with LL, they seem to do as they want at times Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 839Jun 14, 2016 3:46 pm Thank you for responding. I have contacted LL and they are going to get back to me regarding the fence. The lady I spoke too wasnt too sure on the requirements, especially as its a corner block. Hopefully they give me good news, that I can put up a bigger fence, so we can finally sign the paperwork! Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed. Looks like… 0 11854 Elvis has left the building... The site supervisor quit after 2 month on the project. I guess he was just instructed to bark at people, but didn't like when he was… 26 21657 |
