Dear DOG Walkers and whomsoever it may concern,

I am writing not to hurt anyone but those walking with dog
and messing up other landscapes with dog poo. Its a third time happened at our landscapes in the span of one month.

Same here..this is ridiculous .. people should have some common sense.

Fox in our front yard (Radiance Ave - Aurora estate) 2 morning ago. Looked out the front door and a juvenile fox sauntered down our drive, stopped and looked around. When the fox saw me it high tailed across the road towards the one vacant block opposite.

Has anyone else seen foxes lately?

If rabbits are part of the fox family, then yes, I'v seen a lot of them

Hi,

I am looking to build in Epping, in one of the estates - LYNDARUM/AURORA/SUMMERHILL, since I have recently started looking & driving through estates they all seem interconnected and not too far from epping station. Since you all have built in the area or are building, can you please advise if one estate is better than the other or they all are the same.

Also while buying land & building should I be taking into account the orientation of the Land if so which directions are good/best ? & the layout of the constuction so that we can get suffecient sun light in winters (Family, Meals & Alfresco).

Will appreciate your help in getting over the line & thanks in advance.
Regards,

Not sure about that. You are like asking if Melbourne is better or Sydney.
I guess you should really take some time to explore the estates yourself and read through all the building guidelines.


Each estate has different building guidelines. I am not sure the others, but the one in Aurora is making sure you are not overshadowed by next door, get maximum sunlight and energy efficiency regardless house orientation (although in practice, things might differ).

There is a good chance for you to get to know more about Aurora. A free coffee meet for the residents is on the 17th (see http://www.aurora.asn.au). Just come along and you can ask your questions to the existing residents face to face.

I saw a dead one on Bridge Inn Rd during the week

We were also told that Aurora was master planned and that no house overlooked another. Yet if we stand in our son's bedroom and look out the window, we look straight down into our neighbour's kitchen/dining area.

I don't see that in the building guideline though, it only addresses overshadowing.

Me too, I was only told of overshadowing. With block sizes as small as they are, you can't really avoid overlooking.

hey guys how much is your yearly house rate im guessing its the same for everyone in wollert and when do we get it

Our rates are $1493 per annum

And you are all right, the documentation/pamphlets do talk about overshadowing, not overlooking, but this is what was told to us verbally at the sales office when we queried about having our house on a different block - they said that the house designs were specifically designated to each block so that it was planned that no house would overlook the backyard or into the living area of another house etc.

Hi all,
This is my second post on this site. Apologies if I have made a mistake. Also I was asked to post on this thread.

We have just moved into Aurora Estate. We dont have any television reception. Anyone else having problems ?

Hi There,

Our TV Reception is no problem. What stage are you in? If you are in stages 1 - 7 and they haven't upgraded your FTTH Connection you will most likely need to decide who you want for your internet/phone and wait for the upgrade to be done. If they have already done the upgrade give your ISP a call and log the fault.

One thing I know for sure though, if you didn't build your home, you would probably not get the correct information until you move in and realise things are "different" up here!

I know its brief but I hope it helps!

If you haven't have your internet connected or someone came to connect the TV ports for you, then there is no signals coming through the wall sockets.

In that case, you can use rabbit ear type of antenna, but will need a signal amp to get clear picture.

Thank you DamoAu and Aurorafrog.

I dont have the internet connection yet. I called Vic Urban office about the FTTH and was told that they would install it in approx 10 working days.

This morning at 5am we heard weird sounds (we think from our Hot water unit)(sounded like a machine trying to suck water but loses pressure). It was dark at the time and we could not figure out what it is and then while taking shower we lost hot water. After that we havent had hot water. We checked all the taps.

Has anyone experienced such a thing before?

We are in the Aurora Estate.

Sorry guys for the number of questions posted.

But our hot water system was installed 2 weeks ago by the builders and it is not functioning. We have just moved in to our home in Aurora estate.

And I thought the builder is supposed to take care of any faults with the appliances installed by them.

Is that correct?

IMO, you should contact the builder for the urgency of this matter as it's critical to your daily life. I am not sure if the builder will take the responsibility, it depends whose fault it is. But usually you get warranty from the manufacturer for sure, just like you buy it off the shop. So the builder might ask you to contact the manufacturer instead.

The responsible party should get on your matter asap or reimburst you if they allow you to go for third party for the fixing.

But again, no one will be able to tell you who is responsible. I suggest you just to ring around to find out.
