Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5270Jul 26, 2013 7:57 pm Well we visited our site today - things seemed to be going well............until we discovered we are completely missing a window in our front facade, three windows in the back of the house are completely wrong, and one of our back sliding doors opens in the wrong direction!!!! The frustrations (and delays) continue it seems. Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5271Jul 27, 2013 4:27 pm kesrob Georges Fair is in the Moorebank High intake area. We lived in Moorebank for a number of years and they based their Year 7 intake on students who were attending the 3 local Government Primary schools - Chippo, Newbridge Heights and Nuwarra. With the influx of families to the Georges Fair area they would have to make allowances for the new arrivals. Don't think their policies would have changed but when my boys attended there were a lot of kids from the Liverpool area who may now find it harder to enrol due to it being made a selective school. Regards, Grumbles Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5273Jul 30, 2013 9:09 am Hi, Quick question. We are currently sitting in council and have been for 5 weeks now. The status is still showing 'Application being assessed'. I was wondering what is the next step after that or does it go straight from that to being approved? It just seems like a long time and I was wondering how long it was for everyone else? Thanks Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5274Jul 30, 2013 10:06 am Columbo10 Hi, Quick question.

Thanks Hi Columbo10 from submission to approval, my DA took 7 weeks in the council. after that, WH will provide u final construction plans for signature and also firm up the total variation prices. then it'll take about a month before u see any actions on site. cheers Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5275Jul 30, 2013 10:53 am Columbo10 Hi, Quick question.

Thanks Hi, Ours took 12 weeks to get the council approval unfortunately. After 'Application being assessed' the next is you will get an advise from your builder that they received the stamped DA. After it had been approved it took another 5-6 weeks before construction commenced (this includes the ordering of supplies, getting the ACC from the bank, etc) 22-Feb-13 - Council received DA application 17-May-13 - Council approved 17-Jul-13 - Complete piering works 24-Jul-13 - Slab poured Cheers! ~ Clarendon Homes - Aria 26 Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5276Jul 31, 2013 9:05 pm Columbo10 Hi, Quick question.

Thanks Hi there!! Our plans supposedly went to council on Jan 12th, we got approved on about the 4th April....I spoke to council heaps during this time to see what the hold up was!! From there, we had to sign our final plans, variations and confirm we could get the $$$ from the bank! We did this very quickly (as like anyone we want to move into our house!) it then took 3 months to finally get the slab down! As of today, our frame is up, windows in and the bricks/concrete etc are ready to go! It has been really exciting the last 3 weeks to actually see our house finally being constructed!!!!
