Great commitment for the cause... and still a 3am making sure everything is in order for 'the big day'
Finger crossed for you WM.

do you want me to put up revised plans and the DAC presentation for the thread?
Sure. Everyone can see
DAC done.
Fair to say they were underwhelmed by the proposal - one person thought I should just build a single family dwelling on it
They will come up with their recommendations and we'll work from there
It's not insurmountable

Are your plans fully within the zoning regulations for this property?
Can you explain the process you are going through, as it sounds very different to where I am developing.
Thanks,

within height, within plot ratio, within EC and AC provisions for extra storey, asking for a slight front setback concession (that was a blindside).
they were pretty opinionated about it, very minor discusssion about policy and all how "i know the area" kinda thing....

Bloody Nimbies lol!
The DAC is kind of like a heritage overlay council - they want a say on the look and feel of all developments to make sure that it suits the area blah blah blah. It's not a normal WA thing.
You get a 10min presentation spot, then 10 mins for them to ask you questions then you get kicked out and they have a chat about it and you get sent their recommendations.
However the final decision is up to the Planning division so we'll see what the DAC says and work from there.

Good luck Westy!
Settlement went through this week and I am now official owner of the block
To reduce the height of the development Aaron went back to the drawing board to come up with a new elevation which will be more acceptable.
It looks good. How much did you have to reduce the height by?
I haven't been told to reduce height yet - but the writing was on the wall so started work on the alternative.
It's now 9.085m high. The other design had a top point of 11.21m so quite a big difference.
I agree
I'm doing home work on wood and wood alternatives for the panelling. Scyon is nice as an alternative.
I love the look of wood but I'm worried about maintenance so I'm trying to increase my knowledge.

I like it.
There must be wood alternatives. I have seen alternative wood decking which looks like the real thing, not sure what it is???
There is no way you would want wood the maintenance would be a nightmare.

it's a mod-wood style weatherboard - comes from NZ based company - can be used vertically or horzontally, just a basic "V" joint.
