Appliance LPG compatibility confirmed!

A few posts back I shared the email I sent to Porter Davis regarding our appliances and their compatibility with LPG.

They have responded to the information I gave them and confirmed that all our appliances are in fact compatible to be used with LPG or Natural Gas. This is great news for us as it means we don't have to change our appliances nor wait for our natural gas supply to get our Certificate of Occupancy. 

Here is a screen shot of the Building Variation (BV) PD sent us for this change. Total cost is $233 and we still need to supply our own gas tanks before handover. 

  

I requested that they advise where the bottles will be located and was told that this is for the client to decide. So with that in mind, I did my research and sent the following back. 

I used the following link for information regarding the exclusion zones for any ignition source, door, window etc... This allowed me to select a suitable location. Hopefully Porter Davis concur with this.

First Dilemma...

So, during our Tender appointment we were given a house siting drawing to sign. We pointed out that the crossover was not aligned with our garage. The feedback was that we could ask the developer to relocate the cross over or we would be forced to move the house. I got the engineering document for our block and it seems that all the other blocks are in the same boat with having the cross over as far to the edge of the block as possible.

We really didn't want to move the house any further North as we would be loosing space on the alfresco side and be gaining space on the 'dead' side.

Now we are waiting for a response from the Developer regarding the feasibility to relocate the crossover.
