4 Townhouses
625m2, LMDR2 Zoning, Bulimba - Brisbane City Council, Queensland
You would think that taking on Stage 2 of an already approved development would mean that all the hurdles had already been overcome… right???
WRONG!!!
Unfortunately, for Kerry & Greg the developers of Stage 1 didn’t set it up well for construction of Stage 2! Aughhh!!!
- The CMS (Community Management Statement) had LOADS of grey areas = amendments = $$$
- CMS didn’t allow for shared access of the common driveway with Stage 1 - Original CMS stated shared driveway for Stage 2
- Only a single metering point allowed under one CMS – took 5 months to resolve!
- Had to relocate a power pole out of the shared driveway
- Sewer access needed from rear neighbour due to QUU not upgrading system
- Fire and QFES costs
- Labour constraints and ever-increasing material costs
Plus… if that wasn’t challenging enough… Settlement didn't happen on time!!!
Despite the challenges, Kerry & Greg built stunning looking Townhouses!
