• Rendered block wall on the boundary with Dwelling 2, 1.8 m high, from the rear boundary to Dwelling 3's back wall (about 14.8 m; see Fencing), built before the dividing fence goes in, in place of that stretch of Colorbond. The Colorbond from the courtyard meets it at a rendered pier. It forms that side of the pool barrier. Does a 1.8 m masonry wall on the boundary need council approval or a neighbour notice, and footings to an engineer's detail?Meeting notes
• Rendered wall behind the pool, 1.8 m, free-standing just inside the rear Colorbond (which goes in now as planned). Lime-render look, warm white. The pool equipment area behind it is enclosed by the standard Colorbond fencing (John, 7 Oct), except on its pool side: from the rear wall forward to the equipment gate that side is rendered block wall, 1.8 m, and the frameless glass pool fence meets the end of it there (John, 25 Oct 2026; plan above).Meeting notes
• Built-in rendered bench and chaise (John, 25 Oct 2026; plan above): one continuous rendered L, 450 high. The bench runs along the rear wall, 650 deep, stopping about 0.7 m short of the plant-area fence for a potted olive; at the Dwelling 2 wall it turns into a chaise 2.0 m long and 0.8 m deep along that wall, ending 0.6 m from the pool. Square inside corner, rounded end on the chaise, rendered top with a slight fall and drainage under the cushions. Is it block on a footing, and can it go up with the rear wall? Custom outdoor cushions by us (rectangular, solution-dyed acrylic, quick-dry foam, removable covers). Black towel hooks on the boundary wall beside it.Meeting notes
• Pool equipment moved to the back corner of the side garden, outside the pool barrier, on a slab, behind a timber-look batten screen with a lockable gate. WD 03 calls for an acoustic enclosure (1160 × 660 × 1345): please confirm that requirement and how it's met here (acoustic housings inside the screen?), and the pipe runs. The heat pump goes here too, with airflow through the battens. The pool contract (South Pacific Pools) excludes the equipment housing, so the slab, screen, gate and any acoustic housing need an owner: Mastacon or John's landscaper? What goes in it, from the pool quote: the pump and filter, the heat pump (HP195 Inverta, 19.5 kW heating from 4 kW input), an Astral Halo salt chlorinator with the Halo automatic doser (acid dosing: a ventilated, lockable place for the acid), and the Ozone One purifier. Power: dedicated circuits for all of it at the plant area.Meeting notes
• Will it all fit? (our check, 7 Oct): the plant area as drawn is about 1.55 × 2.65 m with the rainwater tank inside it. The Astral Viron iHP195 heat pump alone is 1110 × 480 × 870 and needs 500 mm clear at the sides and back and 1000 mm in front of the fan; with the tank in, about 1.1 m of width is left, so it does not fit with the pump, filter, chlorinator, doser and ozone unit. Please lay the area out with South Pacific Pools: move the tank out (along the west fence, forward of the screen) and/or give the heat pump its own pad in the open. Update, 4 Nov 2026: the tank is out (Dwelling 3's tank is "by owner" at handover) and Colin recommends a 17 kW top-discharge heat pump in the corner with wide-slatted walls (John: yes, if it is efficient to run). A small Colorbond roof over the pump, filter and controls (not over the heat pump, which must breathe); the Halo controller 1 m up, out of the sun, within 1.5 m of its power point.Meeting notes
• Chemicals: the Halo doser's acid drum must not sit under the equipment and should be stored outside any enclosure: a vented, lockable poly chemical cabinet, kept apart from any chlorine. Salt bags (20 kg) need to stay dry: the garage. Please allow for both.Meeting notes
• Pool interior: green tiles (in the quote). Steps at the house end: corner steps, three treads, in the house end's west corner (the side-garden side), with a seat in the water across the deep end's west corner, as Franci's sketch to South Pacific Pools (2 Sep 2026) shows. Please confirm that's how the shell was built. Underwater lights in warm white (in the quote: two lights, with a remote).Meeting notes
• The shell is already built (shotcrete, September 2026), so the steps, the lights, the skimmer and the box for the pool blanket are fixed. Please get South Pacific Pools' construction drawing to us so the pictures and the surround can be checked against it: which end are the steps and the blanket box?Meeting notes
• From the pool quote, for Mastacon's trades: a mains water line to the pool for the automatic water leveller, and its overflow to stormwater; a power point and a place to keep the pool cleaner (Zodiac, in the quote) out of sight; and where the excavated soil left on site is to go.Meeting notes
• Surround and coping: a pale stone (pictured as travertine) for now; the pavers and tiles John has sourced will replace this. Non-slip, sealed. The pool is salt-chlorinated: the coping and surround must be rated for salt water (dense stone or porcelain, sealed for salt), and the pool builder's price includes laying the coping (John supplies it; the coping supply was credited).Meeting notes
• Pool fence: frameless 12 mm glass on black spigots on the two open sides, with the gate moved to the patio-side fence at its west end (beside the steps). Self-closing, self-latching, swinging away from the pool. Spigots and hinges rated for a salt pool, powder-coated black. The pool quote covers only a month of temporary fencing. The equipment area is fenced in standard Colorbond (John, 7 Oct); please confirm no climbable equipment sits within the non-climbable zone beside the pool barrier. Barrier inspection and certificate, CPR sign: whose scope?Meeting notes
• Umbrella: a cast-in in-ground anchor in the surround at the bench end, poured before the paving, for a Shadowspec Serenity cantilever (3.0 m square, Heron Black frame).Meeting notes
• Side garden beside the pool: pale pebbles with a steel edge, agaves, cactus and grasses, stepping pads to the plant gate; no tank on the side fence (John: it would look terrible; Dwelling 3's tank is "by owner", 4 Nov).Meeting notes
• Lighting: two round warm wall lights on the boundary wall, uplights in the garden; on the outdoor lighting circuit.Meeting notes
• Fencing, gates and the compliance certificate — whose scope?Meeting notes
