When I purchased my block in October last year I got told that the tavern hasn't even been finalised as the owner said they won't build it unless they're allowed to have pokies and a tab. Apparently you can only get a pokie licence if a venue with pokies closes and you take their licence off them. ...

We've been living in Flaxen Hills road for 2 months now and love it! apart from having to look at that huge grey monstrosity that will one day be Safeway! Our block is 800sm and we paid just under $160,000 for it but that was nearly 2 years ago now, I expect the blocks have gone up. The road that le...

I think dust must have blown in through open doors and got...
