There is no doubt that municipal authorities have mastered the art of tax collection, as each step brings to light yet another non-optional financial contribution. Between headworks (the work required by the council to bring sewerage and water to the block), lodgement fees for the Development Application, Section 94 donations and other assorted fees the tally has exceeded $40K.
On top of this we have almost $4k for the draftsman, $2.4K for the engineer, $3.5k for tree removals, $3K for temporary fencing, so another $12.5K looks like we will hit > $300K to deliver the shed.
Over $50K and we still haven't dug a hole to throw money into............
Tell me again about the incentives for folks to build a new home, and why it is that the housing prices are so steep.
The shed on a slab will consume about $32K without electrical or plumbing.
