Two Jobs In Hadfield

Bathroom renovation

The bathroom was stripped back to the frame and the floor opened up to the subfloor, where the old pipes were exposed. A tile layout was drawn up for each wall before any tile went on.

New wall linings went in with a new skylight, and the floor was set out to a strip drain. It was finished in large-format tile with a green feature wall, a freestanding bath, a frameless shower screen, a wall-hung vanity with a mirror cabinet, and a tiled niche.

Flooding And Trees In Hadfield

Hadfield is in Merri-bek City Council. Check your own property on VicPlan.

Flooding

Parts of Hadfield are in a Special Building Overlay for flooding. Under it an upper storey extension needs no permit, and a ground floor extension under 20 square metres is exempt only if its floor sits at least 300mm above flood level.

Levels

Where a permit is needed under Merri-bek's SBO1 schedule, the application shows ground levels to the Australian Height Datum, taken by a licensed surveyor, and the floor levels.

Most of Hadfield is Neighbourhood Residential Zone Schedule 1. A permit application there must include a landscape plan that keeps existing canopy trees and plants new ones.
