We've finally had our design approved after 8 weeks !!! anyways the approval is conditional, based on additional info. The main issue was the exposed aggregate driveway not passing as it needs to be charcoal!! Not the colour i want, however the driveways i've seen finished in the estate are exactly what i'm after. Can someone advise what that colour is and roughly how much? Furthermore what type of compost you've submitted? Looking forward to slab start this week...fingers crossed!! Thanks Re: Building @ Harcrest, Wantirna South 298Mar 26, 2012 11:52 am Hi mjn, Congrats on approval of the plans. Wish you well in this journey. By th way, what is your lot number? The guys in and around Cerise Street, who have got their driveway done have all got it in exposed aggragate. And, apparently, the colours you see there in exposed aggragate are acceptable. Charcoal colour is when you go for a cemented driveway. I remember Tramsok checking this out and explaining on this forum. Please check with Mirvac for confirmation.

Can someone advise what that colour is and roughly how much? I understand Macquarie Mix would be ok but please double confirm with Mirvac. Cost should be circa $3k, no more than $4k but I still think $3k is too expensive. It's a bit unclear if you are building with PD whether or not you would get the area just before the door entrance concreted (sorry I don't know what that area called, "patio" maybe?) Bruno 1) Fencing : I was talking to a fencing guy and he was telling me about the issues with the estate covenants and retaining walls. He is planning to meet with the Cust Service people in Harcrest on Monday to understand what is allowed and what is not. Hopefully, he is able to meet with them and they are able to provide some clarity. 2) Internet and Telephone: Hi New reisdents, How are you guys managing with the mobile internet and without a landline phone. Does the mobile internet have strong enough signals in the area? Fencing remains to be an issue although there are 2 houses at Cerise that has the fencing already done. Rob Kuhne is the only one I know most people in that street are using. Sorry can't help you much with internet and telephone.
