New project

January 2014

Okay well we have secured our block of land in Belmont. This is a waterfront battle axe block with an old cottage in a very bad state of disrepair.

Settlement is mid February on the site and we started the planning for a new home for our family.

Buying this block we are aware of a lot of issues that come with it, the steep slope, the southern aspect, the sea rise issues of Lake Macquarie waterfronts and subsequent difficulties we will have getting a design through the local council.

Our first steps have been to obtain a Contour Survey of the land through Pearson and Associates and a Geotechnical report through CSG Engineers. We have obtained these to assist us with making our decision to commit to the purchase seeking to find out if there are any major issues with the land itself.

All came back okay with the reports and expected findings.
