Our application pretty much sat around for 8 weeks before being allocated an assessor. Initially told by Council 8-10 weeks, then 14-16 weeks, then 12-14 weeks. Honestly I think they just tell you anything just to get you off the phone. Council apparently inspected our site almost 2 weeks ago now and have informed our builder we should have something by months end. We lodged both a landscape plan and bushfire assessment as we didn’t want to give Council any reason to delay. Their time frames are appalling. Really there should be a 1-2 week turnaround on these things but when it is comes to a government body everything takes 7 times longer. Got an update from my builder today, originally told 8-10 weeks now Council are saying 14 weeks. Not happy. Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 239May 02, 2018 8:07 pm Hi Coref1 We now have an issue with BAL. Got a report from an assessor that says 29 but Council says that if we don’t push home back 1.6 metres then it’s a BAL40. Now going back to drafting to change plans and get a new BASIX certificate. Hopefully we will be out of Council in next 2 to 3 weeks. Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 240May 03, 2018 7:47 am Mish018 Hi Coref1 We now have an issue with BAL.
