Having an electrical and mechanical background, this property has been a 20-year project for me. Built with thought, and practical common sense, the natural elements work for me in many ways. No pumps. No carbon footprint. No electricity bill. Constant sustainable spring-fed water supply. All the hard work is done, but unfortunately due to old age and family circumstances,I must relocate. Sad, but good.
I actually sold this property 12 months ago without permits. The council issued a Building Notice the next day so refunded the deposit. I have addressed issues with Council, so now have a “Planning Permit”, and a Building Order to finish the building to 2006 (AS3959/1999) regulations, which is before bushfire overlays were introduced. Council has given me until the end of Jan.2023 to complete, although this can be extended if progress can be shown. The property will then be 100% legal. Happy to discuss any concerns.
