Day 3: Temp Fence, Temp Toilet & Cage for Rubbish

Temporary fence is up today. Temporary toilet & cage for rubbish are also delivered.

Day 1: Site Start

Finally we have commencement of building work. Work to be completed within 160 days of today, fingers crossed it will be before Christmas.

Slab Drawing & site start

Drawing for the Slab. We'll have 42 piers under the slabs. The 2nd soil test confirmed that our soil is one of the worst there is.


Got a call from Luke, the building supervisor. Site start will be Mon 26/07/10, weather permitting. Concrete is scheduled to be poured on Mon 09/08/10, weather permitting.

A Start Soon?

Porter Davis has updated status on the 24/7 Portal. Council permit received & Administration Completed. Hope they will commence building very soon.

Asphalt & second soil test

The asphalt used to cover the footpath after Jemena did the Under Ground Pit sunk (see photo below). Trying to get them to replace the asphalt with reinforced concrete.



PD has received the result of 2nd soil test & the engineering department is working on it. They are also applying for the permit soon, so hopefully we'll have a site start within the next week or two.

2nd soil test done?

Found a hole, seems 2nd soil test been done, but only found 1 hole, surely they would have done more than 1, or they forgot to fill this one after doing it.

Under Ground Electricity Pit Installed

Under Ground Pit is finally done, exactly 20 business days after payment was made.

Waiting for 2nd soil test now, PD has ordered it last week, hopefully they'll do it this week.
