Re: Anyone else building in Glenmore Ridge? 134Oct 04, 2011 9:35 pm 5 neighbours? Ouch! Just dividing your fence costs is going to require einstein himself... How nice would it be if everyone just did the right thing?! Haha yeah right! If nothing happens with that fence, then its going to be the case in every street... Check out our blog below!

The builder is turfing the whole block for me... so I dont have to worry... but maybe we can have a few beers and some wines and sit back and watch while they do it!! In regards to the bushfire impact your builder needs to do 1 of 2 things. 1. Get an bushfire certified person to complete a report specific to your block 2. Get the rural fire service to do the inspection Wisdom didn't submit one for Matt and Linda first time around either. Here are the facts...... http://housingcode.planning.nsw.gov.au/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=uMjvQicfEBE=&tabid=69 You CAN lodge a complying development application as long as the impact to your block is not BAL40 or BALFZ Building with Fairmont Homes NSW at Glenmore Ridge Lot 1007 Our Builder http://www.fairmonthomesnsw.com.au Our Blog http://drewandrenee.blogspot.com/ Re: Anyone else building in Glenmore Ridge? 136Oct 04, 2011 9:37 pm I have 4 neighbour fences as well!

I am sure that is how Matt and Linda felt too. Thanks Drew, I will be jumping on Wisdom as soon as 830am hits tomorrow. I spoke with Wisdom several times regarding this report, telling them that we are in the low prone area, however would need a report. I know at the end of the day, we will get the design we want.. but the process is dragging on, I think what has added to the process for myself and Matt and Linda is the fact that we had to do the 2 week neighbour notification for a double storey, basically council just lets the file sit until that is over and then begins to assess the file. Its to late now for the comply development, I just have to keep reminding myself that as soon as the admin roller coaster is over, at least we jump on the building roller coaster. Mind you, it seems to be taking Wisdom a while to get working on Matt and Linda's site, I hope they get cracking soon for them. As for the beer and wines.. I like the idea of sitting back and watching... maybe we can have a slab party since we never got a chance on yours... your home flew up! How have your boys enjoyed seeing the house go up. My 7 year old today asked me, "mum are they ever going to start our house or have they forgotten about it", poor kid, he just wants it to start just like we do. Re: Anyone else building in Glenmore Ridge? 138Oct 04, 2011 10:48 pm Slab party sounds great!! I felt for Matt and Linda as well... no sooner did their block get scraped it rained and i am sure it would be mudded as hell! Done worry... once you start it goes fast... but things slow up at the end when they have to do all the bits and pieces... let me know how you go with the fence info with stockland Building with Fairmont Homes NSW at Glenmore Ridge Lot 1007 Our Builder http://www.fairmonthomesnsw.com.au Our Blog http://drewandrenee.blogspot.com/ Re: Anyone else building in Glenmore Ridge? 139Oct 04, 2011 11:36 pm Drew, I will let you know. As usual I am up late doing uni work and flicking back in to the H1 forum for a break from the uni books.... Re: Anyone else building in Glenmore Ridge? 140Oct 05, 2011 6:55 am I'll trade a block of flats for a different colour fence any day As much as the applications go through i-scope initially and this can hold up your application to council, I can't see how anything in the Design Essentials can be policed from there on in? Does someone from Stocklands come out later? What power would they have once it's done? I assume it is out of Councils hands, its not legislation of any kind, is it? Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of the guidelines but I just can't see any follow up inspections, little alone enforcement. Interested to hear what they come back with.
