Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 629Jan 14, 2016 2:58 pm Hi everybody We have finally sold our house and have moved into a rental. Does anyone have any contacts for the rain water tanks. What process did people go through. We understand that they can be positioned where you want. Did anyone have any issues fron the council, Devine or the builders about the rainwater tanks? Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 630Jan 14, 2016 6:07 pm Hi Bonython07 we bought Polymaster tanks through Meadows Barn Hardware they are around $2700 ea for 22500 L. We have positioned ours on the easement and we checked with the council and this is ok as if it ever becomes necessary to dig the easement the tanks can be moved other than that as far it seems you can position them where it suits. the price includes delivery to your block from the factory in Swan Hill. Hope this helps. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 632Jan 14, 2016 6:33 pm We just bought ours from Stratco. It's a Polytank. It was on sale for $280 for a 1000L. That's all we need at the moment. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 633Jan 14, 2016 7:25 pm Bonython07 Hi everybody We have finally sold our house and have moved into a rental.

Did anyone have any issues fron the council, Devine or the builders about the rainwater tanks? Hi, Bonython07. We have gone through Tanking You (Tony Migalka) for our tanks and installation. Have not had any issues from Devine/builder/Council. We have 2x 22,500 L Maxiplas tanks. Your builder may have suggestions as to location. We had to have the back part of our block dug out and leveled especially to accommodate the tanks because of the height they need to be at in relation to the house. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 635Jan 17, 2016 9:53 am Thanks everyone for the comments re the tanks. We will do some research from some suppliers. Its great to see the progress on tbe homes in the estate. Ponders and vogue- your houses seem to be moving along nicely. Does anyone knoe if the fence down the Nottage section has been removed. Our builder is keen to know the time frame so they can book soil reports etc. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 636Jan 17, 2016 11:09 am Bonython07, Fence is still up as of Friday afternoon.. I want it to HURRY UP!!! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 637Jan 17, 2016 11:12 am Hi Ponders, We are Lot 56 and have had NBN since just before Christmas Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 638Jan 17, 2016 5:12 pm Thanks Porsha. Are you building in the estate? If so what lot are you? We want to get things moving as now that we're renting all we want is to see some progress. When we were up there last it was nice to see the street trees that are being planted. Where we lived the council looked after the street trees and people had pride in their gardens and so we are hoping that Mawson Green will have the same nice environment. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 639Jan 17, 2016 9:57 pm Hi Bonython07, Yes we are building at Aurora Circuit. Meadows doesn't get much action from the council for anything. The only time you see them clearing up is at the Easter Fair and the Udder Tug. You can set your watch by them, two days before and they get the street sweepers in to go around town.. LOL Most people in Meadows have half decent gardens and as a bonus we are a real friendly lot! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 640Jan 18, 2016 12:11 am I used to work for Team Poly and wanted to use their tanks but we got a better deal for bigger tanks from Tankworld. Ours are 23,000 odd litres. It was roughly 2,500 litres bigger in total with both tanks, but every drop counts.....We've had 1 x 9000l, and 2x 20,000l deliveries so far....since October......bring on some good rain! Our engineers placed our tanks on the 'entertainment' side of our bloack and we requested them to be moved to the other side so they redrew the plans and we had no issues with council. I recommend getting the tanks in before any building starts, especially if you have houses around you as you dont want to have to crane them in, same with retaining walls, as we have learnt - it would be easier and cheaper to have them done before the build Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you.
