Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5748Jun 10, 2014 7:20 pm Hi All Welcome to all newbies on the forum! Just thought I'd update everyone regarding the Marina and proposed Recycling Plant. The Marina proposal should go before the JRPP in the very near future for, hopefully, final consideration. With any luck it will be approved in the next few months. As for the Recycling Facility, the Dept of Planning is still, almost 18 months after initial display, considering and assessing the application. Many issues have been raised which need to be fully investigated. I will pass on any further updates as they come to hand Fi Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5749Jun 12, 2014 10:47 am Hi Fifi, Do you know what's happening with the existing recycle plant? From what I can see it's still in full use. Houses are beginning to be built on the boundary of GF opposite this recycle plant.

The recycling centre for Benedicts is in Chipping Norton. I went outside once. The graphics were alright, but the gameplay sucked!

Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5754Jun 16, 2014 8:32 am Fifi Hi HoudaMan As far as I know it will wind up to allow development of the site for Marina/housing once that is approved Fi Hi Fifi, Thanks for the info.. I didn't realise there was even more housing going up there. mecha-wombat The marina site is a sand mine and not a recycling centre. The recycling centre for Benedicts is in Chipping Norton. Well that explains a few things.. thanks for clearing that up Houda ---- Built the Lincoln 35 at Georges Fair Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5755Jun 16, 2014 9:26 am Hi everyone, For those of you that have already built, could you please let me know whether you actually landscaped according to your landscape plan? We have kept our landscape plan relatively simple, but we know that there are a few things we will amend when we move in. Does anyone see this as being an issue? Thanks, Kate Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5756Jun 16, 2014 10:16 pm Thanks Mecha...I'm aware that Benedict operate their recycling facility in Riverside Ave, but am assured that the large mounds of material from their site off Newbridge Rd adjacent to Georges Fair will go once the Marina construction begins. Fifi Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5757Jun 19, 2014 9:11 am Congratulations to everyone who has recently purchased land in the 5E release. We officially registered yesterday! Yay!

Thanks, Kate I think it comes down to the inspector when they do your final inspection as some people have mentioned here that they had to follow the plan exactly and others have got away with making changes. I would suggest discussing this with the council and see what they say. You could always do the basics just to get through council and then make changes later. Congratulations on the registration.. shouldn't be too long now Houda ---- Built the Lincoln 35 at Georges Fair Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5759Jun 19, 2014 9:50 am HoudaMan katelouise Hi everyone, For those of you that have already built, could you please let me know whether you actually landscaped according to your landscape plan?

Congratulations on the registration.. shouldn't be too long now Thank you HoudaMan! Very excited on registration! Just a bit nervous as we have gotten rid of our solicitor as he wasn't any good so we are now trying to do it all independently! We have kept our landscape plan very simple, however have noticed a few things we would like to amend (i.e. driveway placement to be moved slightly and extension of pavers out the back). In our minds they aren't big changes - however I am not sure how particular we need to be. Thanks again! We look forward to being part of the community Re: Anyone building at George's Fair, Moorebank? 5760Jun 21, 2014 10:26 am Hi all, So we are wanting to get our final occupancy certificate but have heard they are making people follow their landscape plans accurately Does anyone know anything about this? I only did my landscape plan to satisfy georges fair guidelines, not realising that council actually have a say in it!! Whoops!!!! My next question is does anyone know a good independent certifier??? and how much they roughly costs?? Thanks everyone! Hi, we live in an area where the black soil is prone to a lot of movement.
