LYNDARUM/AURORA/SUMMERHILL ESTATES: Epping, Victoria

All new states get Fibre. They don't install copper anymore.

Hello,

How can I find the BAL rating for a site. I generated the bushfire prone area certificate of my plot, however, it says that the plot is in bushire prone zone. That it. it doesn't say the rating.

As part of the building regulation, if BAL is 'LOW', builder don't have to provide any special requirement for doors and windows. But if BAL is 12.5 or above, builder need to adhere to special requirements. If BAL is low, I will be saving some money!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks,

Update: I corrected myself:

Even if the BAL rating is 'LOW', the construction requirements must still meet a minimum of BAL 12.5 as detailed in AS 3959 – 2009.

Thanks Measure,

My question was more like, whether we can explore the full benefit (speed) of optic fibre NBN at Aurora even if during peak hours?

Thanks,

You can only get NBN or the estate equivalent. There are no other options. There are no speed restrictions with fibre to the estate.

It really depends on your provider. You can get faster speeds if you pay for it. I was with iinet and the internet would always drop out and we were paying for the top speed. Im with iprimus now and haven't had a problem

Thanks rtforresters!

Hi everyone,

I had posted a few months ago asking about diff estates to buy land around epping/Wollert as we currently live in Lyndarum and wanted to be around the same area.

Anyway we finally put a deposit on a block of land in stage 12 of Eden gardens, anyone else in that estate ?

We are quite excited even though they don't expect titles to be ready till dec 2018 and people are saying more realistically it could be jan-march 2019!!

Not sure why it would take that long but i guess it gives us time to save.

Tania

Congratulations!
Can I ask the pricing @ Eden gardens? Is it at-par with Aurora?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks,

The pricing i think is high like Aurora,maybe a tiny bit more,for example, with Aurora i saw a $448sq block was about 345,000,in Eden Gardens for 424 sq was $345,000 and 484 sq is $383,000.

Can we install synthetic turf on the nature strip?

There is a guidelines in whittlesea council on what to put or not to put on the nature strip

[/quote]Thx RT, wow 700k almost near half the cost.

Yeh pretty good. They sold our previous house for $46 above their estimated price so they are pretty on the mark with their estimation. You should give them a call to suss it out. I was considering selling to get a bigger block lol

Not now I guess still too many things to do. a few years down d track I guess

At least you've done your landscaping. We're working on it in november when hubby is on leave

My backyard is still a mess though will do it slowly.

Do you know how they get in the house ? Did they smash down a window/stacker or something was left unlocked ?
