We bought out land at the end of 2016, it was meant to register Feb 2017 and has only just registered. So 12 months late. As to the reason it was idle, well. That's a story. Basically we were told that it was a paperwork holdup at the waterboard. Then months later it was communicated to us as a drainage issue. Then months later were were told it's soil contamination down by the creek and the Waterboard won't release the papers (Council was ready) until it's cleared and new soil brought in. At this point i called the waterboard directly to find out whats actually going on. The guy i spoke to was great in giving me everything i needed. Russ at Castlehaven had been great but i felt had limited info. The land behind us is a different developer. The land that has already been built on across the road is again, a third developer. The developer behind us had apparently known about asbestos being in the ground for 3 years. I am not sure if our developer knew until 2017. However the water easements were being drained into a pit and then drained by a truck weekly, as the pipes couldn't be connected due to the contamination. And the waterboard couldn't register until it was fixed. The developer who had the contamination on his land was trying to get money from the other two developers to help clean it up, saying it effects the pipes so it affects them. So it was like a war of funds. Meanwhile, land sat idle and it's the buyers that are effected - we had our building price go up as we burnt through the tender. If i were you, i'd get an answer on why the land has not registered. Read between the lines and try and chase things up with the right party - if theres a hold up that can be fixed. Re: Anyone else building in North Kellyville? 688Mar 26, 2018 10:38 am Hi All! I had no idea this thread existed! I bought land in north Kellyville (off Barry Rd) in December 2015. After registration was delayed for approx. 10months, we finally began the construction process with our builder. We are FINALLY coming to the end of it and are beyond thrilled to be moving in to our new home! We are currently talking to landscapers and I'm stuck as to what is and isn't allowed. We are on a corner - is there anyone else on a corner block that has or is finalizing landscaping? I have so many questions regarding fencing, pergolas, grass areas, etc. Any help would be appreciated! Re: Anyone else building in North Kellyville? 689May 22, 2018 2:49 pm Hi all, Question regarding OC - has anyone had issues getting it? Do we actually need one? My builder used a private certifier for the inspection and they are very difficult to deal with. can i go to council to get OC? Re: Anyone else building in North Kellyville? 690Jun 05, 2018 9:49 am Hi all, We have finally done our final inspection and are waiting for the bank to do their valuation before releasing final invoice to the builder.
