Council non-workers

Another follow up meeting with Premier today.A Few little things to be clarified nothing major. We sat down last night and did our developers approval plans and papers and they have been posted off today, so with a bit of luck they may be approved when we return from New Zealand.

So what's the hold-up you ask? Our local council!! Apparently they have not completed the details for the sewerage and drainage for our Section - even the builder can't understand how they can release titles without the land being ready to go. He thinks that because we titled so close to Xmas our council just simply went into holiday mode.  This is an example of our rates at work  (See picture above)

He is chasing them up on a daily basis but until he has this information he cannot do our site costs accurately, hence we can't sign our contracts, and more importantly can't start building!

I can see it being towards the end of February now before we see a slab, so Reinsey and Loz - bring it on!!!!! It will be a race to the finish.

Good news.....I think!! Enjoy NZ and let Premier take care of it. Sounds like a neck to neck with Reinsey and Loz plus lots of coffee at my place?

Sounds like the council received some form of incentive to release titles and avoid the dec 31 land tax!
We wondered why there was no activity on your stage yet. Not even a tap in sight.
Least your builder is onto it tho...good sign!!!

Ha Ha Deb, I agree, we can rotate between your place and Kylie's just keep the kettle on!! You will probably be in before either of us start, but that's ok. Ours will take around 7 months to build we were told.

I'd best leave my fav mug at ur place Deb!!!
