500sqm block and rates have come in at $2,646 that gives us a rateable land value at 238,000 (we paid around the 225 mark)

Just curious for those who have started building, who is your electricity supplier? We are connected with origin and essential energy and the supply charge seems pretty high. It could be that i'm not use to paying for electricity, but either way it would be good to see what options are out there.

enkc - read page 23 of the guide lines, don't think you have a choice of colours. "Side and rear boundary (inter-allotment) fencing • Side and rear inter-allotment fencing to a maximum height of 1.8m. • Timber palings, Colorbond® Fences or similar can be used, but are limited in colour to ‘Gre...

I assumed the same thing. I think it was mr2sht? who said he checked his pit and also saw no NBN cable. I'm will need to flick through the contract and see what the provisions for communications are. Telstra has a USO obligation for telephones, but i don't remember anything NBN specific in the cont...

It's all going to become a big hive of activity now! Interesting to see how it will all unfold. Congrats for all those who have settled or are about too, you can now suffer and pain of not wanting / being bothered to drive out and check your block everyday. But then doing it anyway because you are s...

Has anyone seen the great big hole on lot 246? It’s huge! I’m assuming it may be a swimming pool? It’s solid rock all the way down, looks like it would have cost a fortune to dig out. Saw them digging this out. My guess was a swimming pool also, looks about the right shape. Anyone got any news on t...

We are in 2B, and no NBN or no address, but then again the NBNco map doesn't even show 2B as a build in progress or anything (it's a little worrying). On a better note. Builders started about 2 weeks ago, and we are just waiting for a slab pour :D

I'll call Patricia tomorrow and see if she can clarify. I still haven't gotten any clarity on why the ability to go to council before settlement is no longer an option either... What was the email? Was it specifically 2A / 1B? i didn't get anything :( (or maybe thats a good thing). Last I heard was...

How is your council approval going? We are at around the 8 week mark now too and I wanted to know how you went (I more need to know there is hope :P). Wow that seems like a long time, is there any reason it is taking literally months to get signed off ?? I can only imagine it will get even worse wh...

Hi all I am relatively new to this site. I am in stage 3B I believe. Googong have advised settlement should be between October to December 2014. I was wondering if others who have now settled on their block could advise whether the advised approximate timeframe is fairly reliable? I am leasing from...
The timeframes have well and truly blown out for all of us. Our contract said September 2013... We still haven't settle...

Guys, we in stage 1b have been allocated the street number but not DP hence have been told by builder that CIC won't allow the plans to go council yet. Could you please advise if you faced with same issue? thought we can get approval from council in the meantime land's ready and once finalised all ...
Dp is tied to the registration if the land, which should be done this week according to Patricia. Hopefully you get it ...
