So frustrated with Monash Council today, rang them up a month ago just right after demolition complete for final inspection and release of Asset Protection bond, they have no record of my call and request in their system !?!
LESSON LEARNED: Always get a call reference number from Council, which they can provide upon each important call request.
The building surveyor who issued the demolition permit will also need to complete final inspection. However, they are quick. They're attending the next day after my call. Whereas Council required 2-3 weeks time for such inspection to be arranged and completed.

22/10 - Contract SIGNED
Done deal and sorted !!!
We enjoyed contract signing today. Admin girl was helpful even though there were still mistakes and the handling of the documents weren't so great (wondering if it's because she has to look after 100 clients and it's getting out of hands sometimes). Since they were few minor errors anyway, we had them all noted in the Post Contract Variation form signed today as well.
Such a relieve to have things finalised finally!
We should be contacted for update on building permit approval progress in approx. 2 weeks time. Then our admin girl said that she will give us weekly update once construction started.
We were also told that we will have one construction manager through out the project and there're normally 5 site supervisors in which they could be rotated around due to their personal availability / location to sites. They do have meeting weekly to keep themselves on top of things. Hope that this will not be so much of an issue for us as clients to follow things up between one and another SS.

16/10 - Contract Still NOT Signed
Two months on and contract still not ready to sign. Too many things were not updated accordingly to markups in the last contract appointment, plus others :(
The admin girl is working to resolve this asap since they were simple changes. Hopefully, all will be corrected today.

15/10 - Proposed Contract Signing - 2nd attempt
Two weeks on and second soil test could not be completed due to the land is too wet for drilling. I recall it has only been a few days over the two weeks that it was raining. How unfortunate that the day when they visit site is the wet day.
Weather has been fine this week. I'm so hoping that they get the test done.
I'm still hoping that we could sign on 15/10 as proposed by the admin girl. Cross fingers !!!
