5 Townhouse Project (Simon Chap)
800sqm, MDR Zone, Cleveland, Redland City Council, Queensland
SINK or SWIM...
Simon's first solo project was managing a 5 townhouse development for his parents! Gulp...
AND, despite studying Town Planning at university, he still faced his fair share of rookie mistakes (learning opportunities...) along the way!
The DA had lapsed - but Simon was saved by the 6-month extension under the Queensland Government's Coronavirus Support to the building industry, and the help of his lawyer...
BUT... that was just the beginning!
* he forget to get Operational Works approvals from Council prior to starting works;
* didn't fully read or understand the DA conditions;
* Minor Change approvals then needed for Overhead Power & On-Site Stormwater Detention Tank;
* Penalty Infringement Notices...
Awwkkkward... (sorry Mum & Dad)...
To boot... RAIN, rain and more rain - massive wet weather at the beginning of 2021 delayed the demolition and construction.
Come along to find out how Simon navigated these turbulent waters... and see what he achieved for his parents!
