Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 09, 2014 7:38 pm Hi Folks, As per Landcom first land release for Macarthur Heights is about to come out. I wanted to start this thread so that people can share there Past And Present experiences about Macarthur - Campbelltown and Nearby Area's such as Bradbury, Airds etc. And then we can continue this thread once people start buying land for Macarthur Heights. I would really appreciate if people can share there experiences and views freely. Cheerio OB! Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 3Dec 23, 2014 7:58 am Hi myhome111 Does that mean we can actually see the land before buying it?? Cheerio OB! Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 6Feb 21, 2015 11:00 am My wife and I were lucky to grab a 735 sqm lot in the re-list last January 2015. Settlement is early April. Currently looking for a builder to construct our first home - a single storey house and a granny flat to go with it. We got a quote from Big M for a Lancaster, and are waiting for M's tender submission. Someone had also tipped us about Mojo Homes, and their designs look very sleek. Meeting up with their rep tomorrow to see what they can offer. 1st_homebuyer, yes you can. In fact I was able to inspect my preferred lot right before I made the $300 deposit. tnc2004, have you started to build? Which builder are you going with?

Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 11Apr 28, 2015 8:00 pm Hi Anyone here applied thru the council and was charged s94A Development Contribution Levy? We applied thru CDC but received a letter today from Council that s94A is deferred pending the outcome of councils negotiations with UWS and UrbanGrowth. If the landowner has to pay.. then it will be likely an council rates + 1% of construction cost s94A levy Articles regarding this levy here... http://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/Section94ADevelopmentContributionsPlan http://news.domain.com.au/domain/real-estate-news/land-locked-in-building-showdown-20100813-1233t.html Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 12Apr 28, 2015 8:02 pm myhome111 Hi Anyone here applied thru the council and was charged s94A Development Contribution Levy?

We ended up receiving a letter about Urban Growth and UWS working together about some agreement and that we didn't need to pay it. Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 14Apr 28, 2015 10:46 pm myhome111 hopefully we don't have to pay... do you know if this this one-off or recurring? Yeah hopefully we don't have too. I'm pretty sure it's a 'one-off' thing but I could be wrong. Lets just hope we don't have to pay it, period lol.
