Found out myself: it's zero.

My council planner (Wollondilly Shire) told me today there would be no Sect 94 contribution to do this. Dev Applic fees would be very minor. Only major costs would be for survey. I'm pretty sure two grand would cover it.

Many thanks for your input. It shows how naive I am. I'm revising my survey costs to reflect your figures. Anyway, today I contacted 3 sources: Wollondilly Shire Council; also a surveyor who surveyed my block in 2004; also someone who's a partner in one of those firms that prepare water...

I've searched through this forum and so far can't find much information on costs and charges from councils and utility authorities. Here is a detailed list of my old 2004 project which I abandoned. It would be very useful for all of us if others could update these items for current date 2012...

Hi Brazen, Your posts are the most informative on this subject. Much appreciated. Looking at the floor plans on your site, I notice the main dimensions are external. But doesn't the SEPP only specify floor space? Therefore, for example, the outside dimensions for a 10 x 6 could be really...

Maybe the garage can be slightly offset to the flat, so a side door in the garage can lead on to a back veranda of the flat. Since the garage is extra to the 60 sq m of the flat, you could both as a single unit (slight L shape) to accomodate the verandah.

Hi all, My first post. This has been an enormously interesting thread - very informative. I was wondering about legal ways of stretching that 60 sq m rule. I think with granny flats the rules say that you're allowed 60 sq m excluding car space. I'm not sure if the 60 sq m refers to...
