Harcrest - Stage 9 by Mirvac

MGaus · Mar 07, 2017 1:11 pm

Hi All,
I am wondering if any one is here who has purchased in stage 9. I have purchased the land on the Jun 2015. It is almost 20 months has passed. Any updates about Settlements. I've been advised my Mirvac that it will be Mid to Late this year (2017). That means well and truly more than 24 months wait. All up including the build we are looking at 3 years wait. Would like to hear from others. also wanting to use this topic for future issues and opportunities in Harcrest - Stage 9 with the other residents

thank you

Hi there,

I have purchased in stage 9, all I've heard is that settlements will be late in the year. Engineering plans still haven't been approved fully yet.
I believe there will be a settlement information night in July.

thanks

Hi Hoffy,

Yea, I heard the same as well. It is very disappointing to see, because I was following up this engineering plan for last one year. Each month MIRVAC told me to follow up with them in a month time. It was expected to be released last year April 2016. Already one year behind. It is frustrating to see how long to wait for this land settlement. It is more than a 24 months going to be soon. Hopefully the settlement information during the July time, they may indicate the settlement time frame. Again they always mention it is as an indicative. As you can see from the formal letter that we have received last month in regards to the update, it stated the engineering plan will be released by March 2017. We are in April, still is not approved. I am not sure how to believe there updates.

Welcome to my neighbourhood. Have you progress with your builder or any thing like that. what type of activities you have finished in regards to your build?

Thank you
MG

Hi MG,

yes it is a little frustrating but very much common with all developers.

I actually work for a builder and am currently finalising my plans with them. Just need to settle onour list of inclusions after we work out our budget.
How about yourself?

Hi Hoffy,
We have finalised our floor plans and colour consultation last year Jan 2016. I have signed the contract with fixed price in contract until this year June. But since we have change few things with our floor plans and fixtures and fittings, going to see them again to re asses for a variation and going to extend our price contract by another 6months. It is a custom build home by Hallbury Homes.

Which builder you are working for? and what is your lot dimension?

Thank you
MG

I am building with Kingsbridge Homes, we're on a 12.5 x 30m block.

Looking at building a 37 square double storey.

How about you?

MGaus · Apr 07, 2017 4:49 pm

Ohh, great. Mine is 12 x 28m block. Building 36 square double storey. Looking forward to see the updates of yours.

Hi All,

Hope you are all doing well. Just wondering if any one in this group or the purchasers who have purchased with MIRVAC in stage 9 did follow up with MIRVAC in regards to the updates. I wanting every member to give them pressure in regards to the settlement and the information session they were hoping to have with land purchasers. It is a Joke. Still how many times they want to push back and blaming officials for the delays. All the time there time frames are indicative only. Please be active and give pressure MIRVAC for speedy settlement.

Thank you
MG

Planning is going along ok.
I think that Mirvac is doing everything they can to make these settlements happen as soon as possible.
Just need civil works completed and final council approvals before this can happen.
They are working there every day.

Hi Taru,

I couldn't help in regards to your comment, because based on the final engineering plan, my lot fall is less than 10cm.. It is flat.. So my site cost at this stage is 3k but it may change subject to soil test. Not sure with whom you were building, there are builders who is good with elevated site etc.. explore Arden homes and others, they could help. did you get any indication from MIRVAC in regards to when is the meeting they are going to organise? and expected settlement time frame, etc..

regards
