Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New Breeze Bardia 6Aug 23, 2018 1:20 pm Fairy Hi.Saw the smart living lots in New Breeze. They have a 'reloaded garage' i.e. drive way and garage at the back. Lots facing Macdonald road cant have garage at the front. The driveway area is included in the lot area. Do you think these type of houses i.e. reloaded garages will build good equity? Also, can efficient and good plans be fitted on the lots? Let me know what aspects are to be considered. Hi Fariy, New Breeze, location wise is excellent due to proximity to station and upcoming shopping centre. It will also be easier if work places are around ingleburn industrial, camden valley, Leppington or Liverpool. This will help equity grow. Now in regard to rear garage, I have similar and I would recommend do not go for it. Its a headache to choose a builder and cost runs 25-30k upwards as you need different slab for it etc. In case if there is a slope near area of garage, you are also looking at inbuilt retaining wall to garage. All these will increase headache and price substantially. As such cambelltown guidelines are very stupid in the matter as you have to find space for PPOS(principal private open space) which makes it even worst and you will end up with very small home comprising a lot at the construction cost of a bigger home. These are my learning in building in this area. And if to maximise you build, you have to go for DA approval rather than CDC, you are staring at 4 months of delay straight. Its horrible. Smart living my a**, its a complete smart way of misguiding customer by New Breeze to buy into their horribly planned land. I would recommend buy on Edmondson park side which is under liverpool council OR, buy in new breeze with Standard front garage option. Make sure your lot is wide (preferable over 12.5m) to fit most design and depth of atleast 30m. If at all you get easement in your block, consider that as useless area to you as you cant build in that space, so you would have go even bigger block with easements on it. All the best. Re: New Breeze Bardia 7Sep 10, 2018 9:19 am Hope this helps someone else as well: My lot registered in Sep 2017 and at that time I paid council charges/rates to New Breeze/Dahua via my solicitor. This was as per the agreed contractual understanding. At that time, New Breeze/Dahua did not pay the rates for 17-18 to Campbelltown and I paid those in full in Feb'18 after I received a notice/invoice. Subsequently after 6 months of followup by my solicitor with New Breeze/Dahua there was an acknowledgement that they had not paid council. Pursuant to my followup for a refund, they paid that to council in Jul'18...as a result my property account is in credit so no more payments during the year. Please check your payments and followup for a refund where required. Re: New Breeze Bardia 8Oct 12, 2018 2:49 pm Hi Guys, My bank is asking for "uilder’s contracts work insurance" before releasing the consturction commencement letter. But my builders isnt ready to pay, he said that this insurance is not part of our building contract and the customer has to pay. Any insight here would be much helpful.

Shisir The builder is legally required to have the insurance where the contract value is more than $20k. The builders do this all the time (obtain insurance). I am really surprised why your builder is refusing to obtain and provide that insurance. There is no way that you should be paying for his insurance.

Shisir If you choose design from a builder, normally, its builder job to pay for the insurance. I never heard you have to pay it yourself. You will only pay your own insurance if you manage everything yourself.
