Well, lo and behold, less than 48 hours in to our Palm Cove holiday we received an email advising that our land has registered! We promptly forwarded the details on to the builder and they will submit the build plan to council very soon, probably this week.
The land will settle on 4th November. It is anticipated that council approval will take about 6 weeks, so by the time the land settles we will be several weeks closer to council approval.
From council approval to the build commencing is about 3 weeks, so we may in fact have a slab down by Christmas. That would be pretty cool, although we will consider that a bonus, and not an expectation.
On a completely different note, our friend's wedding in Palm Cove last night was beautiful. The reception was under the stars and included a fireworks display. It was pretty amazing, as was the 1.5m long Brown Snake which slithered behind the bridal table during the speeches! Quite memorable!
We get home late this Wednesday night and will chase up everything to do with the block. Loan papers have needed to be reissued as they got my date of birth wrong, but that is now well along the way to being fixed thankfully.
For now we will relax and enjoy the last few days of our holiday.
Way to go Kimmy, moving along nicely just like that damn snake:-)

Thanks Dad. Yeah, the snake was travelling at a good pace, but those that had spotted it were travelling significantly faster! The poor waiter had to double as a snake charmer. I bet that's not in his job description!
