Looking forward to getting NBN connected when we (eventually) move in. We got a letter from our electrical contractors the other day, we're going to meet with them to get a few more things installed/fitted. Even though we have a good mate who is a sparkie, there are some things that are just going to end up being cheaper to get done during the build. We have to hook up the electrical pump box for the pool in the back corner of the block, going to be better off doing it earlier rather than later! Plus, we didn't put in our plan to have lights at the front of the house...duh! So we have to get that done also. Plus some other bits and pieces. Anyways, it's Friday afternoon just before a long weekend...happiness! Cheers!

So I wandered into the office today and asked, and they said they will be 'residential homes'. The thing is, I could only see 1 Telstra box and no water taps etc....hmmmm. Wonder what 'residential homes' means? I really don't want to see heaps of townhouses built across from me particularly (not that I'm going to have any choice ) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Anyways, if anyone hears anything, please post!

Surely they would have to disclose that at development stages? After going through all findable DA's for that street, I haven't found and "Government" developments. McDonald Jones - Bordeaux Two Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 669Jun 09, 2013 9:45 am Oh Daz, you're so funny....not!! I haven't heard that and I doubt it I'm thinking more along the lines of half a dozen or more townhouses or a unit complex? I don't know...I'll keep an eye on the council planning and development site and keep my fingers crossed!

Cheers Hi Wiz I'm pretty sure those blocks got divided up to 5 blocks for each and were sold separately as part of stage 1a. Are those blocks on the main rd?? Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 673Jun 10, 2013 7:23 am Jay MJH were good they had everything approved and ready before registration so as soon as the land registered then you pretty much had to settle on the last 35days and within 20days after they should do the scrape We started first week of march I'm pretty sure so it's been 3months and 2weeks great progress so far I think Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 674Jun 10, 2013 9:06 am Darrenh Jay MJH were good they had everything approved and ready before registration so as soon as the land registered then you pretty much had to settle on the last 35days and within 20days after they should do the scrape We started first week of march I'm pretty sure so it's been 3months and 2weeks great progress so far I think Awesome. Let's hope they do the same for me thanks Darren!

Are those blocks on the main rd?? Thanks jay, they are on Morson Ave. When I was in the SL office yesterday, they had 5 red dots on each of those blocks, but the fact that they show on the master plans as two big blocks is curious. Also that there is only one Telstra box along there for 5 blocks? Can't do a thing about it! But I am very keen to see what's going to go up.

I'm at Alice Springs airport catching up on all the posts after a long weekend trip to Uluru and saw Ruby's post the other night about stage 9 potentially being brought forward, my goodness that would be awesome!!! We won't get our hopes up though but at least there is hope, wish they'd update the SL website already!!! Looking forward to going out to BR again, hopefully tomoz on my lunch break when I sadly have to go back to the reality that is work By the way Wiz, hubby and I saw that master plan too with those massive lots on there so if you end up finding out please share, we were pretty stumped by it too Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 677Jun 10, 2013 3:23 pm jay2304 WizardofOz Hey all, I've been wondering what these blocks are going to be, every BR masterplan that I see doesn't have individual blocks or block numbers and the latest one just shows two big blocks - 307 & 327.

Cheers Hi Wiz I'm pretty sure those blocks got divided up to 5 blocks for each and were sold separately as part of stage 1a. Are those blocks on the main rd?? So I may have been in the wrong spot. As they split the two blocks up on brooks reach rd into 5 lots each. If you look on the stockland website and look at the master plan where you talking about is the same 5 blocks each block. Hope that's helpful, sorry if I confused you. Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 679Jun 10, 2013 9:18 pm jay2304 Went down for a drive this afternoon. Not much going on and it's raining . Let's hope it clears up soon I hope it clears up too Jay! We're supposed to get our piering done this week Hey there Miss Ruby....where are you? Haven't heard from you for a few days....hope all is well! Nat, I'm hearing that you luurved Uluru? Welcome back to the real world girl! Hope everyone has a productive week!

The past week has been a blur!!! I HOPE YOU'RE ALL WELL!!!! This weekend i came down with a really bad cold so my plans for a super productive weekend were dashed!! DH and I still managed to make a trip out to Warrawong and with the help of http://www.floorplanner.com we sized up some new furniture for our home!! It's really exciting to pick put furnishings! We ended up putting a deposit on an entry (hall) table, tv lowline, two book/dvd cases for the media room, a coffee table, lamp table, dining room suite, double bookcase and coffee table for the family room and Freedom's sale is on until July 17th so we'll head back there in a week or two to order a 2.5 seater and two armchairs if we get over the bad customer service we've experienced from them in the past week. Dh and I are heading out to a site inspection at 2pm today at Brooks Reach with Clarendon so I will make sure to update you all as soon as i can (With pictures we took over the weekend too!!). -Rubyam Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle.
