Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 23, 2013 3:07 pm Hi all, I'll build in Eucalypt Estate(North Melbourne Suburb) sometime soon, I'm waiting on land title on stage 18.... Timeline: Land deposit Sept 2012 Construction Deposit Dec 2012 Builder - Orbit Homes Colour selection Jan 2013 Land title - Proposed Mid May 2013 (supposed to be in early Feb 2013) Anyone building in Eucalypt Estate or building with Orbit Home? Cheers Liz Re: Building in Eucalypt Estate - Wollert 2Apr 24, 2013 4:34 pm Hi Liz, Welcome to Eucalypt! Our house was completed in November last year after being pushed back a few months due to the wait with the land, it's frustrating but well worth it in the end. Stage 18 is near me if I remember correctly, I'm on Saltlake Blvd. Looks like the road into where your stage is located is almost ready to be opened up, so with any luck mid May will stick. The estate has come along in the last few months, especially with the parklands around the creek - it's amazing how much nicer it makes the estate look. Anyway if you have any questions about the area feel free to ask! Re: Building in Eucalypt Estate - Wollert 3Apr 26, 2013 6:46 pm Hi Snakes,
Thanks for the reply, just drove there... Yay Looking quite good my lot had the crossover today. we are neighbour I'm on Whitebark off saltlake blvd. The park is fantastic... Nice place for morning walk... Which builder did you go with? I'm going with Orbit homes. Cheers Liz Re: Building in Eucalypt Estate - Wollert 4Apr 26, 2013 6:53 pm I'm bit unsure about mortar for the brick, I opted for natural one to go with chestnut bricks. Now I'm wondering if I should upgrade for off white? It will cost around 1k for upgrade. I don't mind adding the upgrade if worth it. Any ideas or recommendation? Re: Building in Eucalypt Estate - Wollert 6Sep 18, 2013 10:51 pm Hi Liz! I'm looking to buy land in Wollert hopefully in the near future. I've been reading lots about the issues some people have had with titling and wondered if the same thing was happening in the Wollert area. Did your land title in mid-May as you hoped? Re: Building in Eucalypt Estate - Wollert 7Oct 20, 2013 8:06 pm Hi TempestSkye
Hello. We put our deposit down in June of this year and were told the land was expected to title in September and it did. I was hoping it would title later, as others had, to give us more time to save but it was on time. Good luck with finding your land! Liz85 - Hello! I'm new to the forum, but have been reading/following/researching for months. We won't start until Feb/March next year (we think). We have colours this week and tender in December. Good luck with your build, we check out the developments regularly near our block and have seen your build. There's so many houses going up in our little section, it's great.

Hahaha, isn't that always the way that it never goes as you hope it will? Thanks for the luck!

We will be starting our build in mid January and can't wait. How is your pre-start going?
