DA for pool

[twobobsworth]

We have just starting organising an inground pool in the backyard of our PPOR in Kellyville NSW.

The pool builder has rung and wants to come back out on Monday. We were of the understanding (and the builder), that the pool is a complying development and doesn't require a full DA. Aparently the zoning of the house is different because there is a battleaxe property behind us. It would seem we are now required to lodge a full DA.

Any ideas what this may mean $$$.

I think the pool builder should know the rules and regulations, etc in building a pool.

You may need a survey plan to check if there is any easements, pipes etc.

You will need to know where the sewer line etc.

You will probably also need a basix from a architect etc.

And im pretty sure you need a DA for a pool. I got a DA for my pool when i got the DA for my house, so that made it alot easy for me.

Yes this is what was submitted but it still depends on the zoning. Off to council today so we'll see what's going on.

If it's a residential property in NSW it complies.
The only real disqualifiers are properties under 200 sq m in size and under 6m wide, properties in Bush Fire Flame-Zones, properties in Environmental Protection Zones and some Heritage properties.

Let us know what they say, I'm curious
