Currently (April 2013) its around $5,000.
Penrith Council caught wiff of it recently (December 2012) and just started charging it too

Bankstown dont charge it.

Ryde do..and it aint cheap...keeps changing as to which Council charges this ridiculous fee. Some charge dependingon on cost-of-works (under $100k in most cases) and some base it on the number of bedrooms etc.

Ive found a few ways to reduce/eliminate it in certain areas but Im not posting that here. Hell no!

Its always best to check with them. Call them thrice on 3 different days to be sure.
