I also have been advised by sales that BAL will be reimbursed at final invoice. My lot has come out of BAL requirement. However sales advised flyscreens will be installed from that amount and remaining amount will be deducted from final invoice. listening to your story, probably I need to check back with my CRO However I have different with my color selection, lot of errors from studio consultant, however my CRO is taking care of me to fix the issues is a relief keep posting, and share your journey. Good luck Re: Bushfire levy revoked but builder burbank still charging 17Aug 21, 2017 2:25 pm Hi Mily99, I am building with Simonds and have similar case as yours. we chose the levy from promotion thinking that money will be refunded /credited once the Bushfire levy assessment is completed. We were told that our property does not fall under fire zone but they will still build the house as per the fire zone requirement ( upgrade of 4.6K). We actually are not satisfied by that. We have asked to use that credit on something else in the house. But our CR has been telling us, " It will make further delays with house as everything has to be changed and drawing has to be redone and this will push back out site start date by weeks." Me and my husband are debating on making the changes even though if it take to late site start. We have paid them money to build the house as our need. and just because this will give them extra work, We cant compromise with our home and hard earned money.
