Recently, the Perth couple because of the new house driveway problem, after nearly three years of litigation with the Council, finally saw the dawn! I think I can pay more than a hundred thousand Australian dollars.
It dates back to June 2015, when Mrs. Moore and her husband, Adrian, planned to buy a multimillion-dollar home and had signed a contract to pay for it, and the Cottesloe committee approved it. This includes the couple's advice on driveway problems.
Then a few months later, when the board invited the owners to see the house together, there was a problem, not only that they didn't repair the driveway according to the owner's advice, but that the road that had been finished could be described as steep.
The driveway is at least 60 centimeters high from the garage floor, not to mention that the car won't get in, and it's not safe to walk.
Owners say this shouldn't happen! It was simple. The town had our building plans, and they agreed to them, but instead of doing it as promised, it ended up in the opposite direction.
This is unacceptable, and it was not until October last year that the board of directors finally agreed to resolve the mistake. But at the time, their idea was to let the owners pay for the money.
The committee said the underground cables would have to be relocated if they were to be altered, which would be a big expense, with Telstra's offer of A $104000.
To date, however, the Cottesloe Board has finally issued a statement clarifying the responsibilities of the parties:
"the town will pay the existing fee for lane modification, refund of Mr. Moore's deposit and fees for works, design and permits."
So, why, exactly, is this going to happen? Is it not good to build according to the rules in the first place?
