Can anyone recommend a landscaper to help us with our design? Thanks heaps. Hi, We are on balmoral rise too. Have u received any info about it actually registering on December? I emailed Sandy twice with no reply. Dec isn't far away, I'd like an honest answer. Last letter I received indicated February reg. Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 646Nov 08, 2014 8:31 am Hi Thross, Have you gotten notice that it's inLand and Property yet? If you have you can look at the LPI site and see what status the stage is in. If they have given an indication of Feb then I'd say it will be then or later depending on slippage. Balmoral Rise 1 lots were suppose to be May registration and they slipped to be October. Lots 89 to 119 ish. Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 647Nov 08, 2014 8:36 am Hi Thross, If your in Lots above 120, I just looks on LPI and its waiting final lodgement which might mean the documents are at Council. Call the Sales Office and speak with Rachel as she is always there and I found I could get answers from her when I could not get onto Sandy. Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 648Nov 09, 2014 7:30 am Hi Thross, We have only received the same information as you. I have emailed Sandy to find out if it is running on time and just waiting to hear back. Hopefully she replies to me and I will let you all know. Good news if it is in council though. Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 649Nov 09, 2014 11:16 am I have just received an email back from Sandy stating that our registration is still on track and we are looking at the end of January, 2015 Also, if anyone needs to know she said in the Highlands that we can have instantaneous hot water rather than the gas boosted solar. Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 650Nov 09, 2014 5:52 pm Stacejay Also, if anyone needs to know she said in the Highlands that we can have instantaneous hot water rather than the gas boosted solar. Sorry but that BS. We HAD to have gas boosted solar hot water in our house and now they want to change the BSR's. Do you guys also need to have 9 foot ceilings, gas heating, a feature on the front of your homes i.e. a stone feature? Pretty dirty that they are even changing the BSR's but i guess it makes my home more appealing come time to sell Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 651Nov 09, 2014 7:24 pm Stacejay Hi Thross, We have only received the same information as you.

Thank you Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 652Nov 13, 2014 1:12 pm Hi all we have bought lot no 138 Balmoral Rise we spoke to Sandy about 3 weeks ago and informed us that our section was ahead but it still wouldn't register till maybe end of January which pees me of since we were told by her middle of December possibly November all ****** I guess and regard SHW we aren't having Sandy told us as long as well met the 50 points we didn't need to have but mind you we had to upgrade roof sparking to blankets and upgrade wall bats and put them in garage as well anyway we will be going to opening of golf course on Saturday hoping to meet some neighbours and we are building the Seaside by Macdonald Jones we made a few changes but can't wait to start building.

Hi Thross Was unable to as I had four other appointments and would have loved to have gone. Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 658Nov 16, 2014 8:24 pm Hi Thross, We missed the opening as well, but we did have a look at the pools this afternoon. It looks nice. Very windy today the site fence around the park blew over opposite our block. Masterton Cello 3 Ivy 9/13 Land Deposit 01/14 Dep.

Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 659Nov 16, 2014 8:47 pm So the leisure facility aren't fenced off now, thats strange as they don't open till tomorrow. I would have expected LL to have lock them off somehow Wind is normal to some degree. When its blows this is what you need to get used to. It gets damn strong thats for sure Re: Building in Bingara Gorge 660Nov 16, 2014 9:40 pm Thross Did everyone attend the opening on Saturday? What did u all think? My kids enjoyed it! Also what should I expect to pay for a landscape plan. Front and back 950sq block?? Hi Thross we attended also and we enjoyed it thought is was great but we also thought the pool and gym were a tad on the small side for a large community anyway regards to landscaping plan we were wondering the same thing going to make some calls this week will let you know. No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 22311 No, not yet. It’s currently being assessed by our building surveyor 4 19554 With that sort of soil type if you ask for a design to include piers then I would also include void formers. That way you should reduce the chances of settlement and heave. 7 20034 |
