We paid or $1,500 deposit around November 2019, and with all the Covid stuff last year, it has dragged out far longer than expected!

And they already approved the planning permit, so why the delay now? It's still the same plans! Re: Building a Doulton in Geelong 74Mar 16, 2021 9:29 am Finally got some information. It's the neighbour's consent that is required! Hope they don't object, it's taken us a year to get this far!

Seriously, they could have done that months ago, the plans have been finalised for several months! We are so p'ed off right now!

If so, i agree, they really should have known better. Sometimes i think they use these delaying tactics on purpose! Re: Building a Doulton in Geelong 77Mar 23, 2021 11:10 am Sparkyf Thanks!

Has metricon changed the price on you or are they sticking to the agreed price when you paid the 1500 deposit? Re: Building a Doulton in Geelong 78Mar 24, 2021 3:38 pm Roy Allantos Sparkyf Thanks!
