Our first major introduction into Council red tape with this build has been to do with the provision of a Rain Water Tank. Up until earlier this year, there was a Council requirement that RWT must be installed when building a new home on the Sunshine Coast. This was also a requirement set in the development approval document for the Peregian Springs area.
Now Council do not have this requirement and the Developer who has bought this section of the subdivision off the original developer have told us that they will not be imposing this rule.
Decision made .... we will save ourselves nearly $8,000 and not install a RWT at this stage.
Not so simple .... because the original development approval document still says it is required, Council have to enforce the rule. So we are now trying to get the new Developer to make this change official in the approval document. Not sure how successful we are going to be, but for $8,000 its worth putting up a fight!
Watch this space!
