Hi folks,
stage 1 DA has been lodged so time to start another thread, this time devoted to stage 2 subdivison. I'll keep on updating the other thread as the DA progresses.
So a while back we recieved WAPC approval to subdivide our block with the purpose of building a single unit, that was back in December 2012. Since then we have changed project managers and our strategy and decided to build 2 multidwellings each holding 3 units. So now we asked WAPC if we could get a variation on the existing approval and have been told...
"when it comes to revised plans there are a few protocols we follow here to determine whether we would entertain such proposals. Firstly, revisions are generally only accepted where the variation to lot areas is of a very minor degree. Secondly, the lot configuration should not change markedly. And thirdly, the revisions should not warrant new conditions being imposed. Where any of the abovementioned criteria occur then this means a new application is needed."
So now we're up for a new application and will have to wait at least 3 months before approval is given plus pay full fees. What a bummer!
