Looks like they're starting on the main entrance fence. Gonna stand out nicely going by the pictures the developer sent of the plan. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share
Hi firsttime_homies. Is it ok if I copy your photos and put it on Facebook page for those that are not on tapatalk? Thanks
Hi arch, The photos are on my partners phone and the ones uploaded in tapatalk are medium quality so they won't look that good in Facebook. I just msg my partner to post the photos now as she has Facebook. To make it easier each time I upload a photo here, I'll get her to post it on Facebook. saves you the trouble.
Anyone have experience or understanding of the Bush fire zoning? I see that now the first stages of the estate are no longer in the bush fire zone. Wondering how often this is reviewed. It's $6k that I like to save or spend on other areas of the house if possible, so hoping it gets removed from my block before we build.
Wow pwcc, most of the builders we've spoken to have budgeted $4k for the levy. The last update from land Victoria was October 2017. I rang the council to find out the next update but they couldn't confirm other than maybe in 6 mths. I've spoken to a few people not in the bushfire zone and they stated including fly screen, sarking, whirlybirds as an upgrade push the cost close to the bushfire levy cost anyway.

Yer Boutique Homes seems a little more expensive for some reason on the Bush fire upgrade then the other builders I have got quotes from... On the Riva 29 quoted me $6,700 ... that was on a informal sort of quote, they are doing up a more foraml quote for me, so I see if changes... but then are cheaper on otherthings .. IE steel roof .. Boutique $1400 other builders $3k-$4k so it sort of balances out... Sarking would be nice since we are going the steel roof option, not sold on the Whirlybirds for Melb, had them in Qld and its was a must up there to keep the roof cavity cool and help keep the house cool.. but seeing as we experince more cold weather then hot down here, not sure what the advantage would be? as the flyscreens they are something I can do later .. rather spend my money on items that cant be done after the build or be very hard to complete after build .. so dont care of the house dosent have fly screens for a few months..

Hope everyone had a great xmas. I recently checked the Spear website and stage 2 most recent certification date was 4/10/16 now just waiting in the council to issue the statement of compliance than off to the titling office. Can't believe the estate is moving so quickly.

Stage 2 re certification date 8/2/17 and stage 3 re certification date 2/11/17 now just waiting on council for statement of compliance. Spoke to council planning and they stated with the amount of estates in the area and each one wanting compliance they are super busy hence the delay with a few estates.
Stage 2 and 3 have finally received their statement of compliance from the council as of 23/02/17. Lodgement to land Victoria was the same day so looks like title will be in 1 to 2 weeks (fingers crossed)!!
How exciting! There has been a lot of negativity on the Facebook pages recently, so it's nice to hear some positives about the estate finally. Can't wait to see it all keep happening
What people don't understand is the council have to issue the statement of compliance. Eliston have had stage 2 and 3 provisionally completed for ages but the council is inundated with requests from multiple developers. People should do more research instead of believing everything they're told, imo.

I couldn't agree more! Plus the first few stages tend to be delayed and not on time but once they get into a rhythm then it all starts to fall into place q
A lot of activity going on in stage one, lucky homeowners. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share
