Hi! Nice to see another Noosa 26 build Look forward to seeing your selections. It feels great to be progressing doesnt it. We had to wait for land registration too. Best of luck

Yay! Welcome! I'm building in the current section with Perry homes

Where abouts are you building?

Mid North Coast NSW south of Coffs Harbour.

If everything goes to plan we should have loan approval on Monday.

Welcome and congrats. We are building a Grange (Coral) in Newie waiting on land to register. Looking forward to following your build

Site layout and Floor plan

Looks great. Just check your down pipe at rear near alfresco, in case you are thinking of adding patio extension as it may be in the way where it is?

Following along

The Noosa is such a versatile plan. What facade are you having?

Just the basic facade, we both preferred it over of the other options.
We have chosen 'Hotham' brick, 'Windspray' roof/gutter, 'Basalt' facia and garage door.



We might later on, but it's something Dad can easily handle if we decide to in a few years.
I saw that your building up at BL it will be interesting to see it expand over the coming years, I grew up a stones throw away in Woodrising.

Oh that's great about your Dad. Friends of ours didn't notice a downpipe at front of their daydream & so now I'm paranoid about them. Yes it will be interesting to see it develop it won't be big compared to Cameron Pk & unfortunately we may not get to live there long but I love the feel of it driving in there

Still waiting for valuation to come through, but been promised we will know tomorrow.

Bank approved, now to wait settlement stuff.
Bought some lights though.

- 3 for Island Bench

- Dining Pendant

- 2 for Dining wall


- Bathrooms

- WC & Laundry

- 3 Front Exterior

Congrats lights look great

Woo! Let the fun begin

Land should settle tomorrow, 14 day settlement on our contract is ridiculous to get organised.
I don't think it could of been done any quicker and tomorrow is the 14th day since registration, we even had to cut the family trip short by 3 days to physically walk into bank head office sign paperwork and hand it back after 2hr mandatory wait time just to avoid snail mail delivery times. And still only just scrapped in as Conveyancer is with same bank so it was an instantaneous bank transfer for her to organise the stupid amount of bank cheques to be drawn.

Oh gosh, sounds intense but yay for settlement!!

When we bought our land we had a 6 week settlement

So after being told for 3 weeks that developer was providing a 149(2) certificate they are now not doing it, applied for it ourself to council and had a copy within 24hrs....
Got to chase up CSO now and see if she has lodged to certifier as she hasn't called as we expected.
We were just reading over our colour selections and found a few and even after reading back our selections they still managed to stuff up a few of the selections.. and with all the rush rush sign it and hand it back didn't pick it up so now to try get that corrected with out them wanting to charge us for yet another stuff up.

We got ours supplied straight away that's weird. Did you call Greg in the office?
