Poor son and his young family, but come on, building a house on a steep hill with no consent? Asking for trouble.
Absolute muppets. What did they think would happen? Council finds out, you pay the price.
ok fair point, the steep banks do look dodge
yeah nah, this is classic rural Waikato shit. Everyone does it til someone gets caught.
nah everyone doesn't do it. We got consent for our shed. Takes time but saves the headache

Can't help but think the council is just revenue grabbing. Sure it's unconsented but is it really unsafe?
revenue grabbing? mate they built without consent on a landslide risk. that's on them
Righto, anyone else see that photo? That house is basically hanging off the hill. Good luck in a storm.
bet they thought they'd get away with it cos it's rural. nah mate, council drones see everything now
lol drones. they used google maps more like
honestly feel for them. Trying to help their son out and now this. But rules exist for a reason.
better safe than sorry especially with the kids
