Hi All,
I recently bought a big block (1250m2) PPR in a good Brisbane suburb and knew of its deficiencies during due dilligence including 900 dia concrete stormwater pipe collecting stormwater / overland flow drainage and a sewer through the back yard! The white ants and dodgy reno / extension construction don't help either. But the price was right and the wife is happy...
The future plan is to tidy the place up, live in the house for 15 - 20 years and the bonus upside is to subdivide, (by possibly building a new house) before selling.
Survey plan attached showing overland flow collected at top left of the block and piped diagonally to the right when rainfall less than ARI20 and when a big storm hits...flowing overground along the same path.
Does anyone have any experence - and ideally success - with Brisbane City Council in subdividing a block with overland flow across it?
any and all comments appreciated.... with thanks,
SC
