I could be wrong but I don't think my local council would approve such a building.
They look good though.
I read somewhere, can't remember where that a couple in Sydney spent $40K on solar panels. There neighbour then decided to put a second story on their house. The couple objected to the project due to their loss of light, solar panels etc.
The council considered their objection and approved the extension any way. :(
We have a long time to go before any real change occurs.
Time to get rid of local councils. That's another topic though.

Thats what the folks in the town i am living in thought of aquaponics, being a pipe dream !!! To build something decent in the pilbra, I would doubt there would be too much change if any out of a cool million.
