Just last month they confirmed with me it will feb-april. This is frustrating. If it registers in August I don't think construction will start till end Jan 2019.

Under the new proposal, Elara Estate will not be split across two suburbs and the land north of Elara Boulevard will not be named Lynch. All of Elara Estate will be part of a suburb named 'North Marsden Park'. Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2636Oct 30, 2017 6:14 am Hi all, roughly how long does developer (Stockland) approval on average take? Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2637Oct 30, 2017 12:53 pm Hi All Looking for some clarity/guidance about site coverage for my build. Below is my draft geosite of my proposed building and land. Based on what I have read or been told by the builder is that I can use 35% of total land size for the first floor construction which in my case is as per below. Land size - 457.9sqm Based on 35% allowance I can build upto 160.265 sqm, however my current plan is showing as 160.8 sqm which is 0.1% higher than allowed. My builder has suggested that it shouldn't be a problem as its only 0.1% over the allowance which is not even 1 sqm. I am ok with that as think it shouldn't be an issue with council either. The issue I think will be the maximum coverage allowed in the first place and would appreciate some guidance on below. - Should I be allowed 30% or 35%? - My frontage is 14.995sqm which is just below the 15m guidance which allows total coverage of 35%, however as I am a corner lot does the coverage restriction differ? When I visited a few builder (before picking a builder) I received mixed answers. I was also told that it can be allowed to go over maximum allowed coverage for first floor provided me or my builder submits a environmental effects justification. I would really appreciate if someone can provide some more details or share your experience if you faced a similar issue. I will be calling Blacktown Council also to seek some guidance but appreciate your inputs. Below is my site plan with coverage details on the left side. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ . Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2638Nov 01, 2017 6:54 pm Guys, need some information from folks who have started or finished building in Elara.

Thanks for your help.

Most commonly, its H1 slab." For the astute investor have a look at the Sandstone Ridge as an alternative investment. It looks very promising since it is very close to a number of amenities.
