Planning and getting ready to start building

I thought you may be interested in the home that I am building. I am in Tasmania, Australia and have a nice north facing block that I wish to build a house on. So far I have acquire planning approval from the council and started to clear the regrowth forest from the house site. This has taken over 4 months for planning due to soil tests, waste water treatment and getting an excavator on site. Now winter is getting closer and if I don't get some gravel on the driveway I might be waiting for a while to start building. The house design has changed even since today as the site looks alot different now that it is cleared.

I am very exciting and the location is amazing, there is alot of beautiful forest around and a fantastic river running around the edge of the property. I hope to let you know of the materials I will be using and the issues that are raised when building a non-conventional home away from suburbia. So here we go!
