Priority numbers were given out today for Ridgeline 2 lots in The Ponds.
There was a big turnout with people queueing from yesterday staying overnight.
We got there today and were lucky enough to get one of the remaining lots.
Anyone else building here?
Registration is scheduled for August

Google and yellow pages and word of mouth we are looking at building a single storey. Is your's a corner block? My fear is if both of my neighbors build double my house value will go down obviously... I may be wrong ...

Also remember that single storey = less yard = less maintenance but a bigger yard might be what you want if you have kids. 27 Feb 2013 127 Sydney Senior Member Re: The Ponds - Ridgeline 2 12Jun 03, 2013 8:13 pm yeah, i've heard about the whole double storey = more value thing but i've met so many people who don't like double storey so i'm sure theres a different market for single storey houses too. @zeedi i'm not on a corner block i've just met with our solicitor last weekend and need to get the cheque, is it ok if the cheque is not from my account/name?

All things being equal qualitywise. For the same space, double storey home costs more to build. 30 May 2013 54 NSW Loyal Member Re: The Ponds - Ridgeline 2 15Jun 06, 2013 11:24 am As the Lot size is shrinking the standard size is now at 350-400Sqmrts With the guidelines you can make a single storey from (22.6 Squares -26 Squares ) and a double (30 Squares -35 Squares )+ Nice backyard. People generally going for double. My fearis getting sandwiched by double storey.

Apparently the ponds guidelines don't apply anymore? I was told this by rawson and clarendon. Has anyone else been told this? because one builder started telling me that I had to have 100m POS and then articulation (600mm x 2000mm) but the others said I don't need this anymore. Building a modified Fowler Homes Venetian 23 at Ridgeline 2 - The Ponds Re: The Ponds - Ridgeline 2 20Jun 13, 2013 7:47 pm @impoze - appears POS is not applicable for Ridgeline 2, though articulation is applicable and moreso for a corner lot. check out the Ridgeline 2 design guidelines at http://www.landcom.com.au/downloads/file/ProjectBrochures/ThePondsRidgeline2DesignGuidelinesUpdate_ARTLR.pdf Also, Allworth Homes have a special offer with select home designs, including free site assessment and quotation. Though, I'm not entirely clear on whether or not this translates into a free tender, sorry. Check out http://www.allworthhomes.com.au/index.php/special-offers.html Good luck!
