My land os only 420 and I can build 270sqm via cdc. It looks like you can have 220sqm for 1 storey or 330sqm for double storey. It you wanna go via cdc. Hope it make sense. PS. (I assumed you know already) Just in case, fyi, building size calculation include 2nd floor, not only geound floor.

So we know that cdc (complying development certificate) is a quick alternative to full da approval if you meet a strict set of requirements. These requirements were originally under the general house code- and for instance my floor area for a 450sqm block could be a maximum of 330sqm including garage but not voids and outdoor. The new rules are in the simplified house code and for instance our 450sqm block is allowed 290sqm of floor space minus voids, wall widths, 1xcar spot. At the moment we are in a transitional phase where until the 19th July 2019 We can select which legislation we have our CDC approved under which works perfect for us Don’t quote me on this but this is how I understand it- but look up the info and details on this link: http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/Policy-a ... ing-system Hope that helps someone Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 510Feb 17, 2018 9:24 pm Also: thank you Wentworth! Much appreciated! Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 511Feb 17, 2018 9:28 pm Bardia5128 Also: thank you Wentworth! Much appreciated! No problem. So I was rite. Your total is only 330sqm.

I was worried we would have to get it under 290! Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 513Feb 17, 2018 10:05 pm Bardia5128 Absolutely- but 330 is perfect for us! I was worried we would have to get it under 290! Under 290 sqm if a single storey. Have you select your builder? Is it 5128 is your lot number?

I do not know that this art. But I thought my builder is giving water tank which collect rain water and the we reuse it. How would council giving recycle tap would take away need fir water tank. Where would rain water flow to? 1) Sydney Water runs its own recycled water units and supplies that to some designated areas only. At Bardia, such connection is available to every lot. This does away with the need to install a separate Rain Water tank. 2) Many builders do provide a credit (money back) if rain water tank is not required. However the builder still has to do a good amount of plumbing connections, so do not expect entire cost back. 3) Recycled water conx ensures an assured supply of treated water, where as rain water tank does not. When there is no rain, normal water gets supplied instead of from the tank. 4) You have a point there, and to best of my knowledge - in absence of rain water tank the rain water would just end up with in storm water drain. 5) The rain water tank occupies prime space and is not really nice to look at. If you insist you could have recycled water feeding into rain water tank (which also takes input from normal water line) and that way minimal rain water is poured down storm drain. However you pay for tank and for usage of recycled water and for extra engineering/plumbing to have this setup. I don't know if this is done or feasible without manual intervention. Thanks for the info. I have done some research and seem the price at which we will be charged for storm water going to be in favour. Just for flushes and stuff it would be about 100 lts in month plus for garden and at that rate with approx .1.83/kilolitre. it does make sense to use it.
