Out in the bush you cannot even build your own house.
I was looking at a very large secluded block, nobody could see or would be affected by said structure. It was invisible from the road and neighbours.
This is a very remote bush area.
BUT I need to pay the council for a planning permit, then a building permit.
I understand why in the suburbs, but not in the isolated bush.
Then I get hit with, you can build the structure, but all plans have to be submitted by a licensed builder and you cannot build it yourself under any circumstances.
Well my grandfather on my mother's side, built a whole dairy and house in Charlton, and it's still standing 4 generations later.
He built it with his bare hands and totally on his own.
So now that block will remain empty and for sale, probably forever.
It's too expensive to get a builder there, and too expensive to get building materials there.
But I can build my own 10m square building without any authority.
The block is way too nice for just a toilet
So you don't own your land at all, the Council owns you and your land!!!
