There are going to be a lot more hurdles to jump;) We are in Craigieburn at the moment so we try to get up as much as possible! It's amazing to see the houses going up on Balmain rd. I would get on Merrifields website everyday to check the updates and aerial images! Lol Hopefully that will be us real soon Re: Merrifield Estate - Mickleham, Victoria 82Jul 15, 2016 12:41 pm KatSki It can be very frustrating at times!

I'm across the road in Waratah estate (stage 3) so you guys will sort of be neighbours Everywhere seems to have their BAL removed except for Waratah, as obviously stage 1 hasn't even titled yet. So I'm hoping being in stage 3, it can be removed before I build in June 17!

It's likely, keep an eye out on http://services.land.vic.gov.au/maps/bushfire.jsp for the updates, the areas seem to be gazetted every 9 months or so and the last one was back in April. Re: Merrifield Estate - Mickleham, Victoria 92Oct 16, 2016 8:09 am Hi neighbour we still have BAL in Our stage and we have started our build! Although it's been removed for the house down the other end of our street. I'd keep checking...Especially before you sign contract Re: Merrifield Estate - Mickleham, Victoria 96Nov 19, 2016 4:57 pm KatSki It's amazing how fast they put our frames up! Windows in and our roof Its so awesome to see all this in only a week! Hope the rest of the build goes as smooth. Hey Katski, how are you guys going?? Any new pics?

I worry about the rubbish around...i definitely don't want rubbish on our block! I see a lot around the estate at the moment! Peoples old couches....it looks trashy! So filthy that people would even do that Funny you say that. The couches that you see are on our neighbours block! We had people move in around our build and all of a sudden the couches, turned up. We coped old shoes and draws on our construction site! Very annoying indeed! Good luck with the build, I know how hard it can be.
