Speed bump and metre boxes

This week we've found out we should be settling on the land in early November. I also stopped past to snap a few updated pictures and found we now have a speed bump right outside our place and the metre boxes were being installed.

Unfortunately though, with all the paper work that has to wait til settlement, this means our build most likely won't start til next year. So we won't be in by our wedding in April. 

DA plans and a street sign

Despite there still not being any word on the progress of our land, other than getting a street sign, the administrative side of the build has taken another step in the right direction.

Although the land still isn't registered, the surveryor for our builder was able to sneak on site and conduct the countour survey, which means our Development Application (DA) Submission plans could be drawn up ready to go. We received a copy this week and they look great. They've added in all our final external variations to the house, increasing a few window sizes and adding an external door to the garage from the back garden.

We just have to sign off on them and pay the next installment then, once the land becomes available, it all gets sent off for approval.
