Day 1.2 - Now Where to Start

So the ebook was not my finest hour. I am not about to lose heart at
the first knock though.

I trod right back into the computer room and get right back up to that
google prompt and type in "townhouse development"

Well, now we are talking. Some real information about subdivisions and
land environemnt courts and local council authorities. This is the
stuff property developers are reading every day.

I have honed in on a few articles in the Sydney morning herald talking
about local council development plans. That leads me to my local
council website. I must say, the information is all there, you just
have to know what to look for. I find these town planners and
developers do have their own slang and abbreviations that are not
always that easy to interpret. I would imagine it would be like an
outsider listening in on an Infrastructure Architechture meeting about
DMZ's and VLANing.

So I am finding the language a bit intimidating but I glance over the
Town planners documentation and eventually discover that to build
townhouses in my area the block must be at least 1200m2 and must not
have any other townhouses or villas within a defined proximity to the
block you are proposing to build. Something like if you are building
6 townhouses then their cannot be any townhouses within 6 blocks of
land of your block of land. Something about keeping the old buggers
happy I suppose.

Well. Thats more than enough learning for 1 day. I will pick this up tomorrow.
