30k is pushing it at the low end for a two lot subdivision in my experience. Depending on your council you will be looking at close to 25K just in headworks (infrastructure) fees payable to Council; this does not include the cost of you actually building the infrastructure (or connections) to...

What sort of conditions would they be?

RMA Consulting Engineers & Bligh Tanner are both good.

Many planners know this and have used it for years.

How much of the property is flood affected? What will be required to construct a dwelling where the finished floor level is minimum 0.5m above the 100 year flood level? Once you know those questions then you can start to put more of a dollar value on it.

I concur. Not sure what 'PC 6.176' means though; at a guess I'd say the distance to the downstream manhole. Most sewer lines I've seen are generally 1m from the boundary or 2m from the boundary if there is also a stormwater line on the same side of the boundary. Offsets generally are not...

The sewer main to be extended is located in the middle of the road? Was it not possible to extend the main serving lot 66/64?

This is a common requirement these days, especially in older areas where the stormwater assets often are already over capacity (or non existent). The underground storage tank mentioned above is a decent suggestion. What I would be trying to do first however is a simple rain water tank. You...

The architectural breakdown seem quite cheap at only 32K. Be aware that you will have to pay more (at least that again) for construction drawings if the DA is approved. Planning fees seem reasonable. Surveying fees are reasonable also for a detail survey of the site, especially if you want...

It is impossible to say without seeing the engineering plans for the works undertaken. Earthworks and retaining walls can vary a lot in cost depending upon the site. Likewise for the sewer and stormwater works. It may have been as little as 10K or it may have been 50K etc depending on the...

Were you in EPCM or design? Yeah, not good times at the moment for the engineering industry.

Can anyone help me out as to what the median and average house price in Brisbane were for the first half of the year? Or presently now even? Cheers

If you're not interested in hearing views from both sides, then there really is no point starting a discussion on the topic. If only one side comments, then it becomes a 'love in' basically. I agree with the poster above with regards to water bills first. Baby steps...

up? Okay I worked it out. Feeding the blackhole a few more times made the baby show up immediately after. It was so small I nearly missed it and probably missed it previously... second page is unlocked now anyway :)

How do I get the baby to show up? I've scarified the dealers 14 times into the blackhole so far...
