But it’s not thousands. No where near it. If it’s thousands it could be 2 things. 1 someone else is using the water. And 2 you have a leak somewhere. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 703Aug 16, 2018 8:21 am Our Bill was $850. We had to pay ourselves even though tried to dispute with the M. When we called sydney water we found our that majority of it were admin charges over the last 1.5 years. If you have thousands there is something wrong.

The inspection may result in some issues to be fixed. At the point you are happy to take possession of the house (even though there may be some outstanding issues) is handover. At handover you pay the remaining balance of the price.

We did exactly that (in Ryde area), the council is not interested. To dob you in the neighbours would have to firstly know you need one and second call Local themselves to find out if you have one. Since all the signs are down I doubt your neighbours even know who to call. Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 709Aug 22, 2018 11:06 am NedY That's just ludicrous. Thanks for warning us. After hearing your plight, there's no way I'm handing over the final cheque until the IOC is granted. Good idea, they usually start the IOC process around the time of your practical completion inspection so that they have it by handover. Unfortunately M’s admin dropped the ball on this one and didn’t start the process until around handover Metricon Liberty 45, Ryde NSW http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 710Aug 22, 2018 11:17 am Yeah I think I'd just move in as well.

But M only just got the surveyors in to get the WAE cert and then still need to get the hydraulic engineers in to certify our site retention system. Unfortunately they all take time as it involves third parties.

Unfortunately they couldn’t fill up the stuff in the reticulation system cause we had gravel around it and apparently it needs to be around soil. So they will come again next week and put some soil around it before doing it On another note, we got some new toys installed.

Also, had the doorbell and intercom cables provisioned at the time so we could choose our own doorbell/intercom combo later. It’s a Ring Pro.
