Conditions For Home Improvements

Home improvements (renovations/additions) to dwellings that attract a buy-back by Hamersley Iron under the Home Ownership Plan, may not start without prior approval, in writing, from the Home Ownership Office of Hamersley Iron.
Any homeowner contemplating home improvements or alterations needs to comply with the following conditions:

All work is to be of an approved tradesman-like standard and will be subject to inspection by Hamersley Iron.
It is the homeowner's responsibility to comply with all statutory building requirements. Copies of the Shire of Ashburton Uniform Building By-Laws may be obtained from the Shire Offices.
All plumbing work is to be carried out by a properly licensed plumber and will be subject to final inspection by the appropriate authority.
NOTE: It is a requirement under the Sewerage By-Laws 18.13.6.1 and 18.6.3 that before patios, pergolas, paving or similar are constructed or laid:
Relief gullies be a minimum of 150mm lower than the lowest outlet grating of fixture levels.
The concrete floor or paving be sloped away from these gullies.
All inspection openings be raised to the floor level of patios etc to allow access for maintenance.
All electrical work must be performed by a properly licensed electrician and will be subject to prior approval by the Hamersley Iron Power Inspector. All approval forms are to be presented with this application.
Homeowners must ensure that all works remain within the surveyed boundaries deemed to border their particular residential lot. In some instances, existing fence lines have been extended to encompass service corridors. Structures of any kind should not be installed in these. Residential survey details showing service corridors and easements are available on request from the Town Administration Office.
In the event that mechanical excavation is necessary to facilitate works, approval from the appropriate bodies (refer to table on page 2), must be obtained before starting.
The Home Ownership Plan permits reimbursement only for approved home improvements. All invoices/receipts supporting expenditure should be kept.
When approved improvements are completed, homeowners are to complete and submit the appropriate form provided, (listing all invoices/receipts that pertain to the improvement), together with all the original invoices/receipts which will be necessary to substantiate claims for reimbursement.
If Shire approval was necessary then a final letter of approval from the Shire is required before finalising the value to be added onto your home improvements.
A representative from the Town Administration Office will carry out the necessary follow-up inspection and when the home improvement has been satisfactorily completed and formally approved, a letter undertaking to repurchase the improvement will be issued to the homeowner by Hamersley Iron.
Improvements must be properly maintained.
