CLIENT STORY
Meeting the needs of a growing family
Situation
A family in Mount Eliza wanted to add another floor to their existing home. They achieved this with an innovative design which met their local council’s regulations.
Challenge
Once the family’s plans were advertised, the neighbours next door objected. They were concerned with the visual bulk of the added floor and overlooking privacy issues.
Outcome
After discussion with the owners and Council, we proved that the renovation was compliant due to the high-quality design and generous side setbacks.
Council remained steadfast in its support of our proposal – and issued a permit without further delay.
