tree news.... not good

Received a letter in the post from council today saying tree removal was denied. They didnt even take into consideration the sewage pipe damage from invasive roots - yet they used it as one of the original reasons of rejection.

I thought we had a good case so seeking advice from a Town planner before giving up.

Hopefully will hear back before end of November re: DA amendment - the notification period expired on the 15th Nov and no complaints were received.

Fingers crossed we can get 1 out of 2 at least... here's hoping

DA notification round 2

DA notification round 2.

Wasn't actually aware that notification was needed for a section 96 especially as there were no complaints for the original proposed plan... and now we are proposing less in the plans - so i dont really see the point. Playing the waiting game again now before we can start getting quotes off builders.

Either way here's the DA link and map below

Might hopefully have some news on tree removal application by the end of the week.

DA round 2

Yesterday (25/10) i waited in line at Town Hall city of sydney council to submit our DA amendment. I also submitted tree removal application separately
More monies of course. Yes this has been a slow process indeed!

Interesting to see how long it takes till we hear something back this time though, as we addressed all the original comments in the altered design, the DA already has a planner and no need to notify neighbours for a section 96.

Below you can see the basic rear layout as the front is not being touched.

Fingers crossed for a successful application(s). Hope to start building beginning of the year

DA progress

Our building designer submitted our DA last Tuesday 22nd, upon coming home last night Kylie noticed we had a surprise sticky taped to our front terrace fence. It was the DA proposal notice (photo to come)

I've also found the application online here: http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/Development/DAsOnExhibition/details.asp?tpk=967464

Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.

DA submitted + puppy on its way

Our application to rennovate was submitted last Tuesday (22nd) by our building designer in person at the city of sydney council.


It's meant to take around 6 weeks til we hear back from them basically. Lots of red tape and hoops to jump through at you're local friendly council.


Its a big relief to finally get them in - thanks Todd & Steve! Fingers crossed they dont come back saying you cant do this, this and this.


We also have a puppy on its way - we have put a deposit down on a little Shiba Inu pup. His litter was born on the 14th June (5 males 1 female) in orange by a breeder. We hope to pick him up end of this month.
