I have to agree, the maintenace team have been fantastic. They have been exceptional to deal with
You have to apply to the network for the additional supply capacity. Depending on the area you are in will determine the network you are on. For example Powercor maximum standard is 40amps. If you want the 63amps you would make an application for increased capacity supply that you would submit. DH who is an electrician just yelling out from loungeroom for your answer
Thanks bigbuild! I will be building in the west. It might've been powercor supplying power to the estate. Will give developer and powercor a call. I thought powercor max standard is 63amps?
Just wondering what you need to do to get your internet / phone connected?
We already have phone and internet points in the house. Do PD also connect the wires from our house to the network and then we just have to call telstra to have the service provided or to we have to get telstra to connect the house up?
Thanks!

You will need to contact Telstra who will connect you at the exchange and set up your service, which will cost you about $300

In my Tender Doc they quote for "Telstra underground trench" - $308 and of course you are able to add points for extra cost. Once finished you call Telstra to connect you ($300) but they don't have to be your ongoing provider.

Strangely enough the telstra connection from the street pit to the side of your house isn't standard, and as JLD said that's a further $308 as described. Talk to your BC about getting it added in...

Can someone please let me know under what section I can locate this charge in my contract, We have only been charged for "Telstra Smart Wiring Light Package" $1623. Does this seem correct!
You will need to ask your BC to add it in, as it is not a standard item they include (beats me as to why not!)
Ours is written as "provide Telstra underground cable trench up to 20m" $308.
Not sure what heading it would appear under in your contract as ours was done as a PCV
When is your land scheduled to title? I can’t wait to watch your land transform into a home. Also can’t wait to see all your inclusions, the house is going to look really nice from what I have read on your blog.
Keep us all updated pls....
Just posted an update on this over on the Saltwater thread, but we got a letter from our solicitor yesterday advising that the land had received council compliance and was now at the Titles office...! So, hopefully settlement will be scheduled somewhere in the next 2 weeks. The last 4 letters we've had from the solicitor have been to advise of delays, so this was very welcome and turned the excite-o-meter up a notch!
One of the advantages (and to some degree, a disadvantage) of being land delayed is the opportunity to scrutinise every option, selection and decision made and continually validate them. As painful every conversation my wife and I have had that started with "I've been thinking about...." or " I don't think I like the...", we're now 100% happy with the spec of our house, and our BC has been VERY accommodating of our many changes, although most of them have ended up with a lot more money in PD's coffers
Friends of ours are building a Churchill just around the corner, so their buid has been a surrogate build for us while we wait!
So... just need to complete settlement, get the council building permit and finalise the construction drawings and away we go... Bets on for a (concrete) slab this side of Christmas
Btw, your house is looking fantastic and is coming along at an incredible rate of knots!!!
Hey there T,

I think if my build were to have started straight away I would still have been happy, and probably saved some money too!
I think reading on here doesn't help either, now I want to add the trench as discussed above, but I'm too scared to email my BC again as I think she's probably sick of me!
