Any tips? Thanks, Susan Hi Susan! I'm having the same problem. PlacesVic isn't coming to the party. We even had a pre approval done and now the lady who did the pre approval has left they will not honer the pre approval! I wouldn't have gone this far unless things were pre approved before we even chose a plan. So difficult! Good Luck! We're on Timbarra Drive. Where are you?

I'm almost the same as you. We were all good to go now they've got a new architect who is focussing on different parts of the guidelines. It looks like the best option now is to relocate the crossover. Arghhh! I'm on Focal Rd. I would've jumped ship as well if the land hadn't already settled. I've also noticed their list of builders on the website has disappeared... Not a good sign. Good luck with it! If you have any success I'd love to hear about it. Cheers Re: Riverwalk @Werribee 17Jun 25, 2013 8:07 am John and Susan, Find out if you are having issues with the FTTH requirements or the actual plan requirements. The plans are (were) the easy side of things, it's the FTTH requirements that takes a little more persistance. Once you have that down pat, approval becomes easier (not easy) but easier I will be submitting another design to the guidelines team sometime this week, so I will let you know how we go. P.s. The FTTH rules changed YET AGAIN recently. Have your builder contact the estates DSO or the FTTH enquiries desk for more info. Good Luck! If there are other owners looking at building at Riverwalk, please PM me! Building in Melbourne?

You've prob seen me stalking the place haha I'm there almost every day just checking out whats happening. This is so frustrating. Everything is pretty much set to go!!! I really don't want to go down the path of relocating the Crossover. The driveway where it is makes sense (ours is shared with a neighbour which is still vacant) Feel free to find me a neighbour Eddie haha Just an update on our previous situation, Val came through at a much much better price than what the previous bank. I'll keep you posted on what happens with our plans.

Had the notes changed and then approved straight after! Always on the look out for neighbours for everyone!! Great to hear at least some great news come through in relation to $$ !! Always a pleasure to have you 'stalk' it makes sure that I can get our company name out there In saying that, we have just started another job, enjoy stalking Eddie Building in Melbourne?

I'm hoping to submit early next week as well so hopefully it is good news... Susan |
