Planning/legal stuff:

I had another read of the stuff Robyn has prepared on getting council approval of a structure. I think we are talking about "ancillary or incidental development" and we just need to know which zone crossroads is in Residential 2(a) and Village 2(v) OR Zones 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), 1(c1), 1(c2). If we actually make an application to Council, we should be able to get approval within 7 days - provided that we comply with their stated requirements. Based on http://www.yass.nsw.gov.au/files/3289/File/Exemptandcomplyingpart3sch2.pdf , the following requirements affect us:

• Proposed structures shall have a maximum area of 30m2 or 60m2 depending on the zone crossroads is in,
• The distance between the floor level and eaves is no more than 2.5m or 2.7m
• Roof pitch is no greater than 40degrees
• Floor level at any point is no more than 1 m above natural ground level (residential or village)
• Structures with slab on ground construction shall not exceed a maximum cut and fill of 1 m measured vertically above the natural ground level 1.m outside the perimeter of the external walls of the building.
• Comply with the deemed-to-satisfy requirements of the BCA.
• Comply with deemed-to-satisfy BCA requirements with reference to Bushfire risk/hazards if in Zones 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), 1(c1), 1(c2)

None of the plans we have discussed have any difficulty with these except for the roof pitch requirement. The drawings in my last post had a roof pitch of 45 degrees.


The existing planning approval that Crossroads appears to have includes "the use of the land for a replica medieval village and associated tourist facilities". From Schedule 1 of the Yass Local Environmental Plan 1987. - http://tinyurl.com/yjowgo:

Land, being Lot 201, DP 816557, Lot 1, DP 114005 and Portion 27,Parish of West Goodradigbee—subdivision into allotments (each having an area of not less than 700m²) and common property, under the Community Land Development Act1989, and use of the land for the purpose of erecting holiday cabins for short term recreational accommodation and for open space purposes,subject to the condition that consent to the carrying out of that development is granted within two years from the day on which Yass Local Environmental Plan 1987 (Amendment No24) took effect or within such longer period as the Minister may, before the expiration of that period of two years, notify by order published in the Gazette.

Portion 147, Parish of Manton, as shown edged heavy black on the map marked “Yass Local Environmental Plan 1987(Amendment No 26)”—development consisting of:

(a)  the subdivision of the land into lots (each having an area of not less than 800 square metres) and the creation of neighbourhood property for open space purposes under the Community Land Development Act 1989, and

(b)  the erection of one dwelling-house on each lot so created,and

(c)  the use of the land for a replica medieval village and associated tourist facilities,

subject to the condition that consent to the carrying out of the development must not be granted by the Council after the second anniversary of the day on which Yass Local Environmental Plan 1987(Amendment No 26) took effect or such later date as the Minister may, before that second anniversary, notify by order published in the Gazette.

We have to get a building permit if the "fair and reasonable cost" ie if we paid someone to do it for us, is more than $5000. I think we need a building permit.
