It was great to see so much progress! It looked like most (if not all) Stage 2 slabs have been poured. Frames have popped up in Stage 1, and we even saw some roof tiles!! I didn't take pics of the lots as I'm not sure how to upload them. But it was super exciting to see. So, if you guys get a chance to drive out to the estate, you will not be disappointed Hopefully the weather holds up so we can see a lot more progress before they need to shut down for Christmas. By the way, has anyone that bought in Stage 2 heard from Rawson regarding the next progress payment? Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 324Sep 22, 2015 1:40 pm Hi RJR Yes we met Ryan and were also very excited to see the progress. About the progress payment I sent an email to Lynn Li and she mentioned we should get it this week. You should join the facebook page (the link is in the forum somewhere) and there are a lot more members from the Aurora Estate there too with frequent updates Mridu Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 325Sep 22, 2015 6:30 pm Hi All I received my slab progress invoice today stage 2 lot 205. Also have just joined the Facebook page. Will post up a proposed date shorty for us to all catch up at my place in Stanhope gardens for a lunch on a weekend. We can put some faces to names! Certainly getting excited now. Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 326Sep 27, 2015 10:02 pm Dear Aurora friends, do you have any update on the park? When does it start? I guess it will be there final process. I think It is Rawson's responsibility as part of council contribution plan. Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 327Oct 01, 2015 6:37 pm Hi not really sure what is meant to happen with the park. I know it has definitely been allocated as park as it is on the plan, and I believe that Rawson may be responsible for developing it but don't know for sure. I haven't heard anything from Rawson about it. Sorry I can't be more help. The trees in the park may need some attention though as they seem to have some sort of pest growing in them. ie there is a version of a tree with different leaves to the natural gums which seems to be trying to take over.... not sure who would be responsible or able to help with that. Donna Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 328Oct 02, 2015 10:58 am From what I remember Morgan mentioned that Rawson would be responsible for creating the part and it will be done at the end of the estate development. He said something about a requirement from Council but could be wrong on that.

He said something about a requirement from Council but could be wrong on that. You could be right. RH will complete the park then hand over to public then council will maintain the park. Also, behind the park where other entrance to Aurora estate. It looks like only one way entrance I think the guy with large old house is holding his part of land. Any thoughts? Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 330Oct 13, 2015 4:25 pm Hi all, I have no idea what the plan is for the park. But glad they're organising a play area in our estate! =) Just wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to visit and give an update on progress? We drove past over the long weekend but the gates were tightly locked. Anyone have any progress pics that they can share? Apologies but we're actually not on facebook so we can't join the facebook group. =/ Are there any pics being posted on the facebook group thread that someone can share? =) Thanks in advance! Jen Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 331Oct 13, 2015 7:52 pm I am building right across(Mirvac estate) the road I will PM some pictures next time I visit. I saw some houses already had roof. Bricks in progress. Nice to see good neighbours in this estate. Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 332Oct 14, 2015 8:43 am For those not on Facebook I just posted this.... Also be aware that there is now a camera on the site office facing the gate so if you go in even when the gate is opened you will be smiling for the camera! Grrrr Quick update, though there's very little that can be seen from the fence!!!!! Grrrrr I popped by this morning and there were earthworks happening at the blocks on the corner of Beacon St and Apollo St including putting in the gravel they've been using where the driveways go. Hopefully there'll be formwork there soon. I can see that the last frame in Galaxy Street stage 2 is going up which should mean they are all done (or at least started) but there's no guarantee on that without getting a closer look - actually maybe I can tell from Hambledon Road, I'll check later. Other than that I can't see much except that our house in Eclipse St has a little bit of scaffolding on it so hopefully we'll get our roof soon. Very little happening in the way of bricks though - I can't see how many in Cloud have been done but I don't think very many. Excited to see they are still progressing well with slabs and frames but frustrated with the pace of the brickwork! Donna Jen I don't have any new pics but I think I have one of galaxy street just when your place was getting started a couple weeks ago but I was having trouble with my internet and couldn't upload them. I might be able to do it tonight - see how I go. Donna Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 333Oct 14, 2015 11:38 pm Hi, Did you guys receive invoice from Rowson homes? It's sent through email or mail? My house is in eclipse st. It should be stage 3. I haven't receive the invoice, so I'm worried about delayed payment. Who I can call to ask information about the building progress? thanks.

Hi I believe stage 3 only just started at the end of Sep and Rawson will send the bills through once the construction stage 1 is completed - perhaps in a few weeks' time. Cheers Ken Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 335Oct 15, 2015 3:39 pm Thanks Donna for the update!! So exciting to read about the progress. It would be great if you're able to post more pics. Otherwise, I can PM you my email address and u can just email me the pics if that's easier? I just received the invoice for the frames progress payment, so the frames must be up! =) Differented - i receive the invoices via email & mail. Perhaps give Rawson a call to ask for an update, seeing as we're unable to physically check ourselves? Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 336Oct 15, 2015 6:54 pm differentted, We are also in stage 3. Yesterday we received called from the bank to check on the progress as it has been long since buildon loan was approved. RH advised that they are preparing the site for the slab and first payment is expected in 2-3 weeks. Cheers Anushka Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 337Oct 15, 2015 7:16 pm Hi Ted, The payment progress for us so far has been that once the slab is completed we received the first progress payment which is for the total of the first payment less our 5% deposit. Then we received the frame progress request after the frame was completed. There was actually a couple of weeks delay between the slab being poured and the request for payment and I was getting a bit concerned but they started on the frame anyway. In the end I had two progress payment requests in just under a week, plus there was a delay with our bank and the work on our house didn't stop. Our roof/tiles is in the progress of going on at the moment and our bank hasn't sent confirmation that the frame has been paid for yet. At the moment I can see our house from the fence at the corner of Apollo and Beacon but once the frames go up in stage 3 I won't be able to see a thing. They have been scaping back and levelling the blocks (well those that I can see from the fence that I know of) and putting up signs on each block in the last couple of days. Today the formwork had been completed for 2 of the stage 3 houses in Apollo Street which means that the piering has already been completed for those blocks. Ted, you are our neighbour I think, we're in 210, so I can see your block and can easily keep an eye on what's happening there (again until other frames go up). Anushka and Ken I think you are in our street as well from memory? Jen I will PM you. Good to see all the progress just not sure how long things are going to take with the brickwork taking so long. Donna [ ] Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 338Oct 15, 2015 7:22 pm Hello guys, It is interesting to note that everyone paid the invoices without an inspection. I will definitely inspect the work done before I approve an invoice. I have only approved the slap invoice because I was able to walk in and check it out myself. Anyway, I am very happy about all the good progress on site. Frank Re: Aurora Estate - Alex Avenue - Schofields 339Oct 31, 2015 2:21 pm Hi all, Quick update. Things are progressing quickly and I had a quick drive through this morning - didn't get to galaxy street this time but things were looking good last weekend with all frames at least half up. The slabs for stage 3 are coming along nicely. Ted your our next door neighbour - your slab is ready to be poured. Ken and Anushka yours are almost ready as well. Charles, yours is completed. Ted, Ken and Charles, have you guys joined the facebook group? I am surpised to see that the first single story in Cloud Street has now got its gyprock, doors, electrical and gas connections and even had a painter in the house today! Looking forward to meeting you all.
