Many extensions of time arise in respect of our new development estates. This occurs because it takes some time after the individual block leases have been delivered to the development companies for all land sales to be concluded. This often means that there is not sufficient time left under the original development provisions for the buyer to be reasonably expected to complete construction.

Many of the remaining cases involve average Canberra householders and ownerbuilders who find themselves in difficult circumstances and need some sympathetic and sensitive consideration of their situations.

I believe the approach we take does recognise the realities of home building and has removed a significant amount of unnecessary work that has previously occurred in pursuing compliance with unrealistic lease conditions.
