Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 9Aug 28, 2013 9:02 pm I agree, you should get to choose what you want. No where in the guidelines does it say that the house has to be brick, just that corner blocks have to appeal to both sides and a mixture of materials. I am not sure there is much they can do to stop you. I would keep pushing! I think we are going to go with leisure from Austral. We keep changing our minds but i am over driving around The Ponds looking at different brick colours - thy are all starting to look the same. I might speak to our SC and confirm when we have to return the selections. They also told us this week that we have to tell them asap if we are going to put in a pool or not. I dont know why considering its not going to be close enough to the house to require extra piering. I will have the power put outside regardless Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 11Aug 29, 2013 7:14 pm Kjhosko... I'm not sure why they need to know whether you are building a pool? Many pools are built in the backyards of existing homes. I followed up with the SC who said that our details are with the draftie and will be ready within the next two weeks. Building the Villina Grande Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 12Aug 30, 2013 6:14 am Woo hoo! We received advice that the linen plan has gone in for registration and that we should be able to settle on our land end September/early October depending on how long it takes.

We received advice that the linen plan has gone in for registration and that we should be able to settle on our land end September/early October depending on how long it takes. That would have been fantastic news to wake up too! Hopefully things go smoothly with M so your plans can go into council following registration - one can hope lol Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 15Aug 31, 2013 3:43 pm Goodlife, I've only ever had colourbond before. We have not got any quotes but have set aside a provisional allowance of $6K - hoping this will also cover a front fence of some form and also bearing in mind that we have no adjoining neighbours on one side so will need to pay for that by ourselves. I'm hoping that will be sufficient (or even better, an overestimate). Building the Villina Grande Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 17Sep 04, 2013 6:28 pm GoodLife Spoke to the Roselea salesman, he said the fencing for our block should cost around $3600 (450m² lot). So $1800 for us as its split with the neighbours. That is cheaper than I imagined so happy with that. I hope he is right GoodLife! That might be a little bit of a saving for us! I saw we got a tree out the front yesterday. My only concern is that they have plonked a pipe (don't know what it is for - it has a cap on it which makes it look like a mushroom) in the middle of where our driveway is supposed to go. I want to know whether we can make them fix it before we settle. I just need to find out what it is for first! Building the Villina Grande Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 18Sep 04, 2013 7:45 pm I just seem that you posted here. I replied in the Masterton page. I was up at Mulgoa Rise today, the fence is still up but I can see in the distance that there is a tree out the front and I am guessing a footpath aswell. Hopefully the tree isn't where my driveway is moving too otherwise it will be coming out. I was actually a bit surprised that the trees have gone in prior to the houses being built. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 19Sep 04, 2013 10:14 pm Hi! We also bought in 3D (Binyang) and looking forward to the fence coming down as well. They may want to know about the pool as it has to be covered etc during the build. I've had 2 quotes so far, but have put off the other until we get our tender back - it's already going to be more than we thought so we may have to rethink a few things. kjhosko, I also wondered about the trees - if they get damaged do we have to pay for them? We are building with Elderton and am (almost) looking forward to getting the tender next week. I know I'll have a heart attack when I see the price and have to give up on the little bits and pieces I want. We are thinking of upgrading bricks as well but will see how much extra. Hopefully they won't be any extra because they are actually cheaper than something else from the range we can choose from. Otherwise I'll have to go to Austral for a 4th time...
