Always had good tenants at our basic 3x1 at gorokan, so far at least! Cheers Ali

No problem!

I reckon a Gorokan/Toukley Central Coast waterfront would beat North Arm Cove in terms of cheapness! Cheers, Ali

PS: I get the indication from my inquiries that councils across NSW are discovering the cash cow that is GF builds, so if your council has waived the fees, it might be good to get an approval before they hike them through the roof (so to speak).

Wyong Council is charging between $8000 and $9000 for a GF. This includes S94s and water/sewerage, according to builders I spoke with. Cheers Ali

I am going to speak to a couple of wyong granny builders and see what their clients are being charged. It looks like you can avoid S94 contributions if you build in the new warnervale town centre precinct, but nowhere else. Apparently you need to know the total build cost and provide plans...

Wyong council contributions I have been to Wyong council today and I still have no idea how much I will expect to pay in S94 contributions for a granny. Lots of conflicting info and it even depends on where in the council area you are building. It appears that there will be a hefty sewer, water...

Hi all, I am about to build a granny flat on our IP on the Central Coast. I am about to start getting quotes, and was wondering if anyone can recommend a builder. If you have had a bad experience, i would also like to know, please, perhaps by PM. The IP is in wyong shire. Thanks, Ali

Hi all, does anyone have the latest on what Wyong Council is charging for grannies? Last I heard they waved section 94s but that was in 2012 for a year I think. Their website says 0.3 development units, but I am unsure what that means in terms of $$. Cheers Ali

Thanks MXia. I will send you a msg. Anyone else? Cheers Ali

Hi all, I have a IP that needs a new wall oven and a new cooktop. It isn't a fancy house, so I want to buy closer to the budget end (about $600 for each). The problem is, the reviews for new cheapish but not super-budget (think Bunnings) ovens on productreview.com.au are for the most part...
