I'm not but I know people who live in Windarra Estate and know that there is a FB page. Just thought it might be helpful.

Hi Inspiration,
I understand that in your case it was slow but your land was not registered and it would not make much difference, but if land is registered and ready for built than those "administration" delays are not acceptable. I think that this Landcom process with preferred builders and linking land settlement to home design stinks. We should organise something on this forum and complain to state government. Landcom is serving us on a plate to those builders and they do as they please.

I put a deposit in May and at this stage I am waiting on some tender adjustments and hopefully contract.
No appointments yet but I did check De Lorenzo, Tempelle, PGH etc.

Sales person in display home is excellent but back office takes their time as they know we are locked in.
De Lorenzo pricey and if not happy with package inclusions than it's $$$$$$$$$$
Tempelle looks slightly better but will see at the appointment.
Bricks- Austral looks better quality than PGH (recommended at tender presentation) in the same price range (RRP)
but Wisdom couldn't tell me :th: price diff between "inclusive" and "B" range

Yes the sales guy at bunya is good.
Timpelle was good we upgraded $8000
Pgh brick standard range we did get a quote to upgrade but it wad like 10k. De Lorenzo spent $700 :) but electrical was another $5000 but I guess at the end of the day it's what u like and what your budget allows and we also half added expense because of bunya like needing to add more render the latest one was adding another retaining wall to our landscape plan :(
