This application will now need to be assessed by an Accredited Water Service Coordinators (WSC) and a Sewer Peg Out or Works as Executed (WAE) Plan will need to be obtained in order to process your plans accordingly. Once the Sewer Peg Out or WAE is completed, the application will be re-assessed. If Sydney Waters assets will not be affected then an approval will be issued, alternatively, amended Engineers Plans may be required. and what consequences it comes with? Kindly help & advise This happens to everyone building in new estates, they should include it in the Tender! No consequences from ours, just the $910 charge.

Our block is long (about 40m deep). But if we go any longer than the current length, it makes it costlier as more slope comes into picture. We were more keen on a double storey so that we could enjoy the bush views at the back. Seems like it will come at a cost. We had some PA for all items (2-5k each) initially, but after a visit to DL to get an idea, we realised we would be spending more than that for sure. Haven't looked into the electrical and kitchen selections yet. Yes the more slope will add to the cost but I would guess nothing like the additional $80k or so to build a double storey over a single. True that. Will check with them soon and let you know. Hope it works out for us. Loved the design and WH finishes.

Except that upon looking at photos after our visit I noticed the ensuite windows- 1 square set and the others architraved. It’s not specified on paperwork to be square set everywhere but it should be consistent surely? But the standard of tiling appears to be good.

We PA the Site Preparation for Landscaping (rear, sides and front) $1600, plus Removal Fill $2550, total of $4150. Now, WH Landscaping comes back to us with the new price, $1620 + $2860, total of $4480. I made some local calls and asked for quotation, two of landscapers gave me $1200 + $1000, or total of $2200 for the same specifications above. That's 50% savings, but I can do this only after hand over. Do you guys did your basic landscaping with Wisdom Homes or did you find comfortable with your local landscapers? Also, did anyone did the driveway outside WHL? How much was your cost for driveway? Thanks in advance for your time.

Navy We got WL to level our sides, back, remove fill and also done a retaining wall at the front. Had to use the $5000 voucher on something and because the side access will be tight once build is finished, it's a lot easier to do it now. We had to pay extra $500 with the voucher. Will be doing driveway after handover as we want exposed aggregate but WL only do plain coloured driveway.

I just got surprised when the price of Fill Removal was changed from PA $1700 to $2860, that's amazingly 60% increase. But my local landscapers quoted me between $900 to $1000. So, yeah, with that we will do the full landscaping on our end (in the event of driveway increase the price, too). The only remaining with WHL is the rendered mail box, $1050 (hoping the price will be the same).
