Thank you Wongbruce,
Mine is council not CDC. What's the time frame in general for council approval?

I am getting my contract plans in 6 weeks which may be the first week of October. So I have only 2 and half months and most of the December and early January 2018 are holidays.

Normally that date is how long you can hold the price as signed in tender. (6 months from tender payment.)If you have not started construction before then your build costs will rise unless you pay the going rate (around 3k I believe) to extend your date without seeing cost increases. When you say get contract plans in 6 weeks do you mean sign the contract? If you have yet to sign the contract try to negotiate an extension on that date now, once you've signed it's very difficult to get one. It took us just over 6 months from contract signing to file going into construction including Christmas shut down and that timeframe is almost identical to everyone else building with wisdom nowadays. majestic35.weebly.com Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2566Sep 01, 2017 10:24 pm @ElDream16: Let us look at the best optimistic outcome and do the maths: 6-8 weeks - Finalising contract plans 4-6 weeks - Council approval 1-2 weeks - Approval of Construction Loan You might just be able to submit the Authority to Commence Construction by 7th Jan 2018. As earlier advised try to negotiate the date by 3 more months to be on the safe side. Elara Suburb? Well there may be changes in boundaries and there might be a very slim chance that Elara stays in Marsden Park.

Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2570Sep 06, 2017 6:03 pm kaycee Any idea why the development along side of the Aldeton drive (Paint ball area) has been stopped? Council have circulated development proposal a while ago, but didn't commence any construction activities as of yet. Is there any reason behind this?

My house is in the DA stage, the minimum landscape area for a small lot (300sqm or below) is 15% for State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 but it is 25% (!) for Blacktown City Council Growth Centre Precincts. This is a huge difference that determined whether I can put a decking or paving the backyard or not. The builder seems using the figure 25% in the DA but I will likely to pave part of my backyard at the later stage. Do you have any idea which one I should follow? Many thanks. Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2576Sep 13, 2017 12:19 am Hello, Was hoping to get some advice. We have some illegal dumping of rocks and large amount of soil on our vacant block of land. We suspect one of our neighbors as they are the only ones building close to us at the moment. I rang council to get details of owner or builder as there is no fence no information or signage re: this available on that lot. Council told me that they are an owner builder and due to freakin privacy issues the cant share details unless i send them an email and then they will see what they can do. It s so sad and disappointing to see people can be so mean and heartless. Any suggestions on how i can deal with this issue? Stockland and builder have both put it back on us to clean up.

Thanks, Cheeku What lot number are you Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2580Sep 14, 2017 2:27 pm Hi Elara mates, Does anyone know whether Elara design guide lines accept only colorbond fence? If colorbond, is it standard colour for everyone? I am just wondering if your neighbours' fence is of different colour, it looks a bit ugly. If anyone already built in this area, how did you manage with your neighbour? |
