Building at Willowdale

Has anyone got recommendations for a bushfire consultant? We're going to need a BAL certificate to go with our CDC application when the land registers. Our builder has advised us we need to organise it independently.

Now the land has been cleared it looks like we have a good chance it's going to drop from BAL 29 that it was marked on the original subdivision assessment which I'm pretty happy about. I'd love for it to be 12.5, not just for the cost saving but because we would get so much more choice of front doors!!!!

Does anyone here know of the guidelines for a retaining wall on the boundary
Do all parties have to be notified and agree to it?

hey pixiGT, have you decided who you're going to go with at this point?

Hi guys, I have recently purchased Avena townhouse package for $635k plus ducted a/c $6k = $641k
its three bedroom, two story, two living and single garage. roughly 273sqm. I am very happy and pleased with this buy, and I know for a fact by completion late next year, the house value will go up for sure! good thing about this is, its "townhouse" however not detached and no STRATA! what else can you ask for.

if you have any information please do share on the product. thank you and good luck with everyone's build[/quote]

Hi all,

Hey ChristineA, I have finished my build, however if you'd like to know my inspectors, feel free to PM

I have a colorbond roof with sarking and R4 glasswool batts to the ceiling and it's more than enough. Even with heavy rain it's fine. Noise isn't an issue. The Anticon blankets in addition will give you that extra insulation from noise and heat/cold, but in my opinion if you have R4 already, it's definitely not a necessity, more of an extra thing.

Hi Guys, Does anyone know Campbellton council requirements for putting a concrete as I have 300sqm land and I would like to have some part of backyard with concrete floor and also side of the house. My approved landscaping plan has turf on the backyard and pebbles on the side. Appreciate your help.

Hi zeeshanm26, have a look at your plans for the required soak area mandatory for your size block, then follow up with your council with regards to their specific layout/distribution requirements regarding this, then calculate the area you can cover with concrete from there.
I've concreted a patio area across the rear of my place from fence to fence, & down both sides of my house (footpath access areas). All the best with it.

^^ new trains from Leppington to Parramatta and Blacktown

Thanks a lot

This is great! I work in Parra & was definitely one on my concerns. Thanks for sharing.

That's great but people travelling to city will still have to change at Glenfield. I hope there is a direct train from Leppington to city someday.

Thank you so much.

Hi All
Has anyone received an update for stage 7A registration?
Thanks

Not so.

I traveled to the city from Leppington and back each day. The train goes via Glenfield and Liverpool. It does take longer but by the time you factor in the time waiting at Glenfield it's only a few minutes difference.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if stage 14 registration & settlement is on track for June 2017?

We received conditional approval for a loan last week; the bank couldn't offer unconditional approval as the land is not yet registered. Has anyone experienced valuation issues with their land? Was the valuation on-par with the purchase price?

I think stage 14/15 should register at the same time i.e. June 2017. Should we create a whatsapp group for better communication? PM me your contact details and I will create one.
We're lot 1403.

Hi there,

Metricon is charging us $725 for AHD Survey.

Thanks SkB
