My latest plans have had the driveway width reduced as it gets to the crossover... so maybe that was the issue with…

I doubt the issue is with blacktown council... Ive been told by ichijo that it is the private certifier, who has requested further information/drawings from ichijo. They did that…

Ive had mine lodged a while ago and the certifier came back requesting additional information. revised drawings have now been completed and sent to me which they can now be…

The cost would all depend on what your construction was prior to the Bal rating.
the rating requires certain methods and materials for construction to achieve compliance. If your original design…

My CDC Application was lodged last week to the certifier... I was told by them that, its a 21 day period which includes the 10 day period for certifier approval…

I had mine reduced from 19 to 12.5
not sure how or who through. But our builder got it done.
I'm on andrew st if that helps?

It's not good that they hadn't told you, I was told that the person handling our paperwork had changed a month ago now. Strange that they wouldn't tell you?

Hello there
I just realised that u r next door to us when does your construction start?? And what fencing are you getting??
Hi neighbour...
No start…

Hi. I'm on lot 28. I sent you a pm about fencing.

We are lot32 eva st. Thats why i am surprised that Meridian Homes never mentioned anything like this before regarding stairs or an internal step. We even have to pay…

Ichijo have told me the same thing as well late march/early April. I assume they are probably going to try and build all of their houses at the same time…

for me, the bus stops are not so much of a priority as the roads are. In particular the roads in and out of Windsor road.
