Its nice out there, but out you way its nice too its a good part of the country . It's just one of those great days to be outside (don't really know what i'm doing in here). There doesn't seem to be a flood over lay on the block and as of early next week we should have it in writing from the catchment authority .

Sounds like you have had a few flood issues! We are building in bendigo also (Epsom) and we too have had alot of issue's with flooding! Hope it all works out, look forward to reading more! Building the urbis through jg king homes Re: Our Columbia 211 Dennis Family Home 11Apr 25, 2011 8:57 am hi naybo how far into your build are you ? and have you got a thread yet just cant find it if you have , also have you been actually flooded or is it also an over lay , i know some of the courts in Epsom flood but unsure if its just the road way or more substantial i.e house and land inundation , have you seen the amount of fill being trucked into the estate at howard st, jobs gully road ( didnt want to name the estate ) We still are waiting, but progress is being made on the block/subdivision curb and channel are next i have been told Dennis Family Homes Columbia 211 Deposit paid- 21/03/11 Re: Our Columbia 211 Dennis Family Home 12Apr 26, 2011 7:06 pm Hi, I'm in the middle of setting up a new forum now... ill let you know once i've finished! We are in a area which the council believe is a flood zone however when we had all that rain it never flooded... didn't even hold much water so we aren't really sure what they are going on about! We have also had to pay a pretty high bal...but the land is beautiful and it the perfect location. (its in a really quite court.) I have noticed the amount of fill going into the new estate, its incredible! I would never recommend buying there. ( by the looks of it they are having issue's selling it ... seem to be alot of blocks still for sale) Our bricks are going up in the next 2 or so weeks so hopefully we will be weather proof before the rain set's in! How's everything going with your build? Building the urbis through jg king homes Re: Our Columbia 211 Dennis Family Home 13Apr 27, 2011 7:33 pm hey ,, Hope the weather hold off for a bit longer for you , bet ya excited All the blocks had a scrape over today and the farm fencing has all been rolled up, it is very much looking like a few houses are gunna go up there , still abit away from a title becoming available, when did council inform you of it being a flood zone ? Im all for building higher to get out of the flood path or just dont build in low ****** areas, , i wonder if its an easy way out just to say it floods there , so no law suits come their way . its not like we are digging a hole and putting a house in it , and it is the highest block there in the first place .

We were on the same road that the display houses are out there. I wouldnt go buying land out the other side though the new estate out there is right near the waste water treatment plant so it might be a bit smelly Yes i find some councils just want ppl to build houses in flood areas so they can get money from rates... Although why would someone want to risk it is beyond me. Our house has almost started waiting on the site cut hopefully this week but will see how busy the earth mover is. Hopefully the weather stays like it is at the moment.

Ben/melissa any news on your build? Building the urbis through jg king homes Re: Our Columbia 211 Dennis Family Home 17May 08, 2011 7:57 pm still waiting on the title spose about a month away yet , but atleast when its ready the build can start , the trees are still there but the gutters are getting done now, there is a builders sign on one of the blocks a couple of doors up but out block is just a block at the moment.

We loved it there except for one of the neighbours was a douchbag was always having parties and loud music till 3am very inconsiderate. Glad he moved down to melbourne but just rented the house out. Its now on the market which is interesting ... obvously couldnt afford his mortgage and his maloo ute on his $14/hour wage LOL (we found one of his payslips in our back yard once) We sold our house to a couple from craigieburn way in melbourne . We had a 140 day settlement i think it ended up being, we drive past it regularly to have a look at it.
