Do you rent? https://tenants.org.au/tu/mould-survey Tenants Unions across Australia are doing a survey about mould in rental properties to submit to a Biotoxin inquiry. Give them your horror stories.

This article is pretty clear, but it also mentions the old permeable surface rules and I can't understand how these blocks would meet that standard either. https://www.australiandesignreview.com/architecture/victorias-new-garden-area-requirement/ 400-500 square metres: 25 percent minimum garden area 501-650 square metres: 30 percent minimum garden area > 650 square metres: 35 percent minimum garden area A garden area includes: – Lawn, – garden beds, – swimming pools and spas, – tennis courts, – paved paths and courtyards, and – open entertaining areas. Garden area does not include: – Driveways or areas set aside for car parking, – carports, – buildings or roofed areas, – garden sheds, and – spaces less than 1m wide (eg. narrow garden beds at the side of a driveway).

My aunt and uncle recently moved to a new home in an estate like that on the NSW south coast. None of the homes have storage built into them. you can drive around and looking into peoples garages and there is just mountains of boxes and belongings because they dont build any cupboards in these homes at all. they ended up losing about 15-20% of their 2 spare bedrooms in the house just adding built in ward-robes for storage. not to mention that theres no trees or shade loving anywhere and all the homes have black roofs. and everyones running aircon all summer to keep comfortable. gently caress property developers.

It's quite surprising to me that two story homes aren't more popular in these developments, a smaller footprint with more space for a garden, plus less roof area to stay cooler in summer.

Probably too expensive to flat pack a straight off CAD double storey using nothing but thin steel and plastic to hold it up.

Double stories cost more mainly because of scaffolding, work safety stuff and matrrials. Which is fine by me.

The Victorian garden area requirement is immensely dumb policy and repeated efforts from many people have still yet to discover just what the actual intended purpose of it is.

JBP posted:Coming back to this, what boggles my mind is that apartments near actual amenities are deemed unsuitable to raise a family, but living a million miles from town with no backyard is somehow a better way to go? All of the marketing surrounding these places promise schools, parks, shops, and all the amenities you could ever need (at a later date), which then never materialise. It's as much about developers lying about amenities that it is people choosing to live far away from them.

Beetphyxious posted:Well not disagreeing, but I thought it mainly was about density. There’s already site coverage and permeability limits, and it was replacing a control which directly limited the number of houses you can put on a lot. The implementation has been dumb as gently caress too, it still hasn’t been reflected in the building regulations which means many single house on a lot builds can ignore it unless they need planning permission for another reason(like they’re on a floodplain or something). Don’t get me wrong, Matthew Guy is the dumbest motherfucker to have been planning minister in this state in a long time and his suggestions are far worse, but the GAR is a farce.

Live next door to this beautiful created/restored wetlands! *hands over control of the wetlands to council and it immediately goes to ruin because they have no money to maintain it because they’re trying to provide essential services to the ten thousand people who just moved in*

A bit late, but I'd like to thank Planet Armerica for finding an expert who explained that Trump wasn't actually losing track of detained children a week before it came out he was literally locking them up in child internment camps. Great reporting.

Friend of mind moved to a new development in Wellard a few years ago (mostly known for being where the Claremont Serial Killer dumped one of the bodies in the 90's). They're finally putting in a primary school, but she now admits she regrets moving so far out given how far she is from basically everything. The house is nice, but nothing could get me to live there.

that was cathartic lol memories of the landlord's go-to guys "fixing" the mould by painting over it, and the paint bubbling up and sloughing off like rotten skin because the mould was still wildly spreading underneath it. so not only did i have to deal with mould, cockroaches and slugs (the slugs had mites crawling all over them) but whenever i showered it was in a magical snowstorm of mouldy paint fragments

Also helps recharge groundwater. The permeability requirement is a separate one and has been in long before the garden area requirement was introduced. The GAR doesn’t require an area to be permeable to be included in the requirement. It can include impermeable areas such as concrete as long as they’re not part of a driveway or car park.
