C.S. Lewis Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2604Mar 19, 2014 3:29 pm led-zep So frustrating! My folks are waiting on their key, any day now, and i just called iinet/Telstra to organise NBN..Both said its a wait until May to get an NBN Co technician..As far as i am aware though MJH installed the NBN infrastructure in the home as part of the package..The builder told me they just need to connect the blue cable to outside the house. Anyone have to wait a long time to get there NBN going at BR? I concur with James + Ash. Five weeks is the minimum period from the time you call Telstra to get it connected. This was after having the NBN infrastructure as part of the Build. NBN will install the equipment first (outside and inside of your house), followed by Telstra to "get connected". We called up Telstra about 4 weeks before our expected handover to schedule NBN/Telstra activities, and we were fortunate that our site supervisor let the NBN guy do his thing, which was about 3 days before handover. Thus, we had NBN before moving in. Cheers.

I am just really nervous about all my colour coming together. I am not 100% on the fascia so hopefully the roof does something for me oops shows I'm not a builder. Eaves don't go up until after the roof lol Scaffolding went up yesterday for the roof so fingers crossed it will get done today K & J Building Havana 1 McDonald Jones - Brooks Reach NSW Land Deposit 20/1/13 House Deposit paid 27/7/13 Construction Started 23/1/14 Keys Handed over 1/8/14 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2606Mar 20, 2014 1:31 pm Hi people, Quick question - my neighbour wants me to get 2 quotes to do our boundary fence and he will get two quotes and we can go with the best quote.

Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2607Mar 20, 2014 2:53 pm Hi All, I know this is a little off topic and hope you don't mind us posting. Ashleigh and I will be running this years Sun-Herald City2Surf as charity runners to raise much needed funding for Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) Every four hours an Australian child is diagnosed with autism and one in 100 Australians of all ages has an autism spectrum disorder. People may have trouble with social interaction, communication and have restricted and repetitive interests and behaviours. Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is Australia’s leading service provider for autism and other disabilities. Our specialised, evidence informed schools program is the largest in the world, with additional services that include information and advice, diagnostic assessments, behaviour support, parent and family support, and adult programs. We share evidence-informed Aspect practice and applied research nationwide. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong disability that affects about one in 100 Australians, or 230,000 people. The word spectrum reflects the different challenges that people with autism face and the degree to which they may be affected. Aspect services provide people with an ASD with the opportunity to realise their unique potential, as well as providing much needed support to their families, carers, friends and colleagues. Our vision is to provide the best possible opportunities for people with autism and other disabilities.
