We have received an email from the building certifier that Plantation has contracted to let us know that they will be the building certifier at our lot and also it states #12. Yay, we have an actual house number now.
Given we are building to the boundary on our left side of the property, Plantation supplied us with a form we needed to get signed from our adjoining neighbor for permission to carry out works on their land to build the garage as it is on the boundary of our lands. Given we didn't know who our neighbors were we sent the form to Stockland and asked them to forward it on to the neighbors to sign and send back to us so Plantation could start. because of privacy laws, Stockland could not give our the neighbors details to us directly. Basically, if we don't get the form signed Plantation are not able to step on site and makes our build difficult.
2 weeks later we still had not heard from the neighbors so we called Stockland to make sure the definitely sent the form to them where I was told that they girl who would have sent it was on leave but they could actually give me the contact details of the neighbor as it was a builder and not a private home owner. I called the builder and within 1 hour I have the signed form back and submitted to Plantation.
From our view, this was pretty annoying as Stockland could have given us that info 2 weeks ago and we would not be held up like we are now with the building.
With this form now filled in, Planation were able to finalise our contract variations and site plans.
