Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone bought in Emerald Hills Leppington NSW? 186May 16, 2017 8:45 pm Yeah, I saw the dams too. I'm hoping they used them to create the drainage basins around the estate. Our contour survey matched pretty closely. The original lot plan was 0.65m and the survey came back as 0.5m. They seem to have done well leveling out the lots.

Nice. Bit jealous of the lots that have a fence and a portaloo in that pic. Partner and I were on our lot on the weekend and saw holes everywhere so I'm assuming the soil tests were being done. Fellow neighbour drove by and had a quick chat to them. Their builder (Eden Brae) received council DA approval in 3 days. Might email our certifier and get an update.

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to say, get your hands on the plans they forward for your CDC/DA and check every last number on the dimensions!! Ours had taken space off the side of our house without notifying us. Not happy Jan! Re: Anyone bought in Emerald Hills Leppington NSW? 196Jun 22, 2017 12:55 pm Hi all, Has anyone in Stage 1B commenced construction yet? And what stages are you at? Council is taking forever to release my CC so I probably won't start building til next month... Gosh this has been dragging on forever...

Re: Anyone bought in Emerald Hills Leppington NSW? 197Jun 23, 2017 5:46 pm Hi dianna17, Last time we were out at the estate (about 5wks ago) there were a couple of sites in 1B that had construction fencing around them ready to start. We're in 1C and our land was cut this week, piering next week and slab the week after (depending on weather). Good luck with council! Re: Anyone bought in Emerald Hills Leppington NSW? 198Jun 23, 2017 8:07 pm HI All, confirming I am located In 1C and today after 2 weeks I get my CDC approval to begin construction. Look forward to seeing a frame up! Has the soil tested and appears emerald hills saline issues, however I am doing a home and land package so the builder worries about that not me Re: Anyone bought in Emerald Hills Leppington NSW? 199Jun 23, 2017 8:09 pm LPurk Hi dianna17, Last time we were out at the estate (about 5wks ago) there were a couple of sites in 1B that had construction fencing around them ready to start.
