An update:
Council have been aware of the situation with my villa for the past year. I have been careful to keep council not to accuse council any wrongdoing. This may now help in my application for building approval for the stairs.
Council will have another look at my file and I expect a phone call from the chief building surveyor. It was indicated that this procedure would not take a long time.
The EC are sharpening up in that all recommendations by their engineer are now being quoted and work will commence shortly. On Thursday a surveyor will take levels within and without my villa, to see how much sag there is to the slab.
We have our phone conference on Monday with NCAT with the OC as respondents.. The instructions are to have all documents to hand. And that an decision is made at the end of 30 minutes as to whether the matter goes to a second hearing, or orders are made or the appeal is dismissed.
As NCAT already have all document ion and evidence I can’t quite fathom the point of the phone conference.
Thanks agains to scotlandx and whale . I would not have become so calm without your assistance.
I think I see some light at the end of the tunnel.
