No it was an "S" Re: The Avenue at Casey 124Apr 22, 2010 10:50 am Hi Everyone, I thought I would finally update you as we have just had some results in regards to our issue. To cut a long story short, basically we questioned the dates written on the report compared to when PD had said the report was completed as they were conflicting dates.... also the title of our report said the report was completed in the general area of our block... so they never even sighted our block (hence why they charged us for the pegs not being there) so PD wrote to me saying to ease my mind they will request a second soil and survey test free of charge and say to the company that does the surveying that the customer requested the test be completed on their block....this happened 2 weeks ago. We final received the 2nd report today, saying that after sighting our block the report has gone from a P class site to a M class report, however PD also wrote the following in my email..... this extra Soil and Survey test was ordered as a matter of courtesy as our Contractors had some dates noted up incorrectly, and they also did not take soil off your direct site. As per our normal procedures, we will not re-estimate your site costs until we receive the final Soil and Survey when your site is readySo we still don’t know how much our site costs will be until our land is titled.... so as it stands when we sign our contract on Friday our site costs that will be quoted are still for the P class site not the M class site Once our land will be titled then they will refigure the site costs!!!! Re: The Avenue at Casey 126Apr 23, 2010 11:43 am I dont know if we are in high or low area... we are in stage 8. Re: The Avenue at Casey 127May 02, 2010 10:05 pm Land settled on Friday at last! Just wondering if anyone has started building? I was down there a week or two ago and there were a couple of slabs down and fences up. Won't be long and there will be a lot of activity happening. kayjay Building Santorini 26 with M3tric0n at 'The Avenue at Casey" Re: The Avenue at Casey 128May 03, 2010 8:50 pm Gday, i just started building. im building on lot 215. hoping to have the slab down this week sometime Re: The Avenue at Casey 129May 05, 2010 9:30 pm Slab went down today. cant believe how fast the surrounding houses are going up.slab down one week then the next week the frame is up. crazy Re: The Avenue at Casey 130May 05, 2010 10:11 pm Congratulations on the Slab going down.

I love how no one has respect for anyone else or their property anymore.

I love how no one has respect for anyone else or their property anymore. Syrus Who is the builder Syrus? I have no idea. I'm ringing the people who approve the houses in the estate and asking them on monday. Then i will ring the builder and tell them nicely to stop using our property as a dumping ground and use their own clients water. As im not sure if our builder will charge us to remove the concrete of our property, so i have emailed them and let them know what has happened. Re: The Avenue at Casey 134May 12, 2010 4:30 pm Went down to have a look today for the first time in about a month, and wow - so much activity!! Lots of houses up to frame stage some with the roof and even garage bricked. Still no progress on the roads and footpaths on our stage yet, but exciting to see things happening!!

Re: The Avenue at Casey 137May 17, 2010 1:54 pm Hi Emilio I have bought Lot 733 which I think is just a couple of doors down from you! I haven't heard anything in relation to title . . . just spoke to the sales guys down at the land and was told that they had to put a massive drain in Stage 7 which will take water down to the peninsular! Not sure what this means however they did say that they have had heaps of rain and up the top of Stage 7 is a quagmire! Developer wants it finished by 30 June but the rain will be the big problem!
