TPG saying that in the area telstra did a line sharing service so TPG cannot give Adsl 2+ and dont have the technology. TPG can give me adsl with a speed of 1.5mb/s 25 gb and it cost $49 and no telephone( land line I dont think $90 is too expencive compared the speed telstra is giving , and it includes telephone line as well with all local calls free and telstra mobile free and other mobiles cost 20cents. Before i am not the customer of telstra and i was with internode. Now what i found is if i visit some sites like google and yahoo there is no usage count but some sites like herald sun, apple telstra counts usage. and its 2 year contract. thanks Re: Highlands Estate Craigieburn 216Mar 03, 2010 2:02 pm hmm.....it seems that I cant even build a fence or driveway till I get the handover... Now I thought since this was external to the house shouldn't be an issue but obviously it is... has anybody faced this issue and is this common ?

Now I thought since this was external to the house shouldn't be an issue but obviously it is... has anybody faced this issue and is this common ? How funny... I just came into this topic to ask a similar question and saw that this was the most recent post which is yet to be answered. My question though - the developer's rules state that you can't move in until you have fencing, a driveway and a letterbox. Given that (as pointed out above) you can't do most of these things until after handover from the builder - it's going to extend the time between getting the keys and actually moving into the house. Does anyone know how strict the developer is in enforcing this??? What have other Highlanders done to get this sorted out as quickly as possible after they get the keys?? Does anyone have any fencing/driveway contractor recommendations (via PM if you prefer)?? P.

A certificate of occupancy should be obtained by your builder and provided to you. Stockland has no control over this - I moved in over a month ago without any of these items.
