Thank you Rodney for few very vital tips. I would certainly take those in to account. The problem I have personally is of moral dilemma but what you said is correct as I need to remember, this is to cover the cost and make some money. If I put a better insulation, it may not be visible...

Thank you Ian I will certainly do some background research on the areas you mentioned. The issue I have with my selling price is location of my block within the area. Its on an intersection with red light. One side (width-short) is a main road and other (length-long) is semi main road...

Thank you Josh Its really helpful. I will ask my draftsperson to include more details as you mentioned. Also involving quantity surveyor is a good idea. I will search for a suitable person and put some details here around the cost. Yesterday I spoke to the realestate agent, he was...

Thank you for your response. I will contact the associated authority and see what comes up... I am meeting one this saturday for a review. The reason I am meeting this guy is because of his performance in an Auction I went to. He was pretty good, there were a good gathering and there were...

I am in a process of choosing an agent to sell the dwelling I am building. What are the most important factors to watch for? Is it Company, person, advertising strategies, commission, open home rules or any other ? Where should I set my selling price? When I ask them the market value...

I am building two new double storey dwellings with in Glen Eira council boundaries. I would certainly need your help and advice as to whats the best approach would be as this is the first time for me.... I have engaged the drafts person who did my town planning application to prepare for...

Thank you Melanie At the end of DPC meeting with Council the neighbour said he is not happy with the results. He demand all what he wants. I have been thinking about it for a while as the next step is VCAT where I am sure chances are that I will have a say but that would add 6-7 months to...

Today I had the DPC meeting. The Council decided to issue me a notice with minor condition which I agreed to. The Neighbour is still not happy. He may go to VCAT adding 6-7 months to the process. Any idea on how to negotiate with Neighbour??? Just agree to what ever he is telling as...

Here are the recent development in the process: We have finished advertising for 14 days period as required by the council. We have received one objection from our neighbour. The interesting bit is, I read the objection and I agreed to address all the concenrs in the letter to resolve the...

Hi Bobby Thank you for your suggestions. To be honest with you, I would agree with you on this because its not that easy but not impossible either. In a way if I get through I may save some money on expert advice but that wasn't the sole motive actually. First thing I didn't have enough...

Thank you for detailed description and some really important suggestions. Finally, I have submitted all the documents to Council last week. Also started advertising this week so in a wait state for next 14 days as required by council and then waiting from Council Decision. Thank you once...

Yes you are right, but I haven't got to that point so will keep you posted of the outcomes as it happens. Thank you for bringing the point.

Thankyou for your suggestion Christian Can you give me an estimate of how much would it cost for a Town Planner to prepare my TP application to submit to council? Will a town planner be able to tell me if this proposal will work or not?

Thank you Christian I would agree with you here engaging the Experienced Planner but the problem is funding. On other hand, if the same plans can be approved just by a better argument, I personally do not like that kind of approach but thats life I guess. I will give it a go for the...

Thank you for your quick action.

Thank you Christian. The problem is that from planning side, I am handling all the issues. The draftsman is only responsible for floor plan you can say. I have gone through all the rules and the plans comply with them except the ones where there are no parameters - Neighborhood character...

Thank you for your quick response. I have taken care of the size i.e. (10m X 4m), access (direct access from living / dining). The issue is it falls in the South West Corner of the block i.e. 4m on south wall and 10m on West wall. This block is pretty much absolute North facing on the...
