Contact council to discuss building – get copy of Council’s LEP (local environment plan) – meet with council (pre-pay $60 to Council to arrange meeting) on block to look at where the house would be best positioned and any particular issues that Council may have about the block. Council says must build at the back of block where there is a natural space and also to avoid removing beautiful oak tree – fine with me!!

Meet next door neighbours – a retired couple – very nice. Keen on the garden.
