There is a property in the market next to my IP. We are interested in that. But the driveway (from road to the property gate) is broken and needs to be redo again. If anybody has experience of reding driveway, please guide me. Do I need council's permit? The drive way is about 28m2 (7mX 4m), How much will it cost? The property is in Perth (South of River).
Thanks.
The part of the driveway to which you are referring is generally referred to as the "cross over" and it's one of those assets that comes under the control of the municipal authorities (council) and they like to have a say in the construction or repair of these items. Generally speaking they will have some specifications to which you will need to comply, some forms to fill out, no doubt the exchange of some cash, and then an inspection. Nothing too onerous, but as always a process to follow! As for cost, allow $100/m2, to cover all bases.
Make an offer subject to the driveway being repaired to the approprate standards.
Ensure you get Council Approval!
Going through this and its great fun! Council are requesting that we rip up cross over and invert and replace with council regulated cross over and invert!!
Get a couple quotes, as you maybe able to show that to the vendors and have it taken into consideration!
