Me three. I didnt sleep too well last night.....kept thinking about this. Got some good ideas for detailing and...stuff...that will really maximise the internal volume. Bittersweet win for me - but its still a great project.

i'd liek to avoid that as much as possible but i am working on an alternative in the background, now.

it's very frustrating indeed. we're given rules to design by. so we do. we're offered concessions on some rules, providing we provide a mandated "high standard". so we take the concessions and offer the standard. nope, not good enough. twice.

Okay, even the Councillor's planner recommended it for approval.

the unofficial word is that "some councillors still thought it was a third floor". well, yes - it is meant to be a third floor but reducing the bulk from the street. when that comes out in mediation, i think the sheet will hit the fan. if the councillors don't even undertsand what...

go you halves - i'll give the town planner all the ammo they need, reduce your cost. i want this through.

Im working with the Mayor and Petar to keep it alive without SAT....but I think SAT mediation will result in the existing policies remaining in place. Something tells me that calling councillors and explaining the pr9cess just isnt enough anymore. From what sanj witnessed at the local govt...

Smashed. Gutted. Angry.

Advertising signs on site Monday.

things should be easier now Petar is running the show.

its all back with Adam at the moment. all justified and cleared up.

i think they just knew we werent backing down. i like having you in my corner. can i pay you to attend all my DAC meetings? i'll go head to head with with anne munyard on this. she's pulling stuff from nowhere on this and she knows it. planning accept justification against tech services...

Myf, that helps your case no end at DA stage - a 3 bed apt with NRAS close to the city. will be easier to get it through council.

i was gonna say - 4!! yes jezza, i did correct a few people on their presentations when they presented they were just putting bad info or not wholly correct info out there. haven't been invited back, since. not that it bothers me - people just want to pump me for the strategies we've (sanj and...

....and it's a great "force major" at that. there is no way I would suggest we give up and go with the grain unless we really were pushing the proverbial uphill. i let myf know my fall back position and was instructed "not yet", so we pushed. this was always going to be a sensitive site and...

it's much easier with developments that dont form part of a streetscape - West Pde is a rear ROW block so there was no context to consider. with Myf's job we were looking for a modern counterpoint. i think we've found a great balance now.

Hi Tano, not sure what you mean by "shove it"? do you mean "shove it through council" or "go and shove it up your...." ??? :P Myf is well aware of the rules and we discussed pushing for the concession based on either design excellence or sustainability. we had a serious bum steer at the start...

lol, west pde is revision q. that was before submission, though. Myf's is after submission.

never. like I said, all inclusive. when people see how much work goes into these things, especially after hours and in forums like this, the value of the "all in one" pricing structure becomes apparent. I'm just sorry it takes so long. :o
