Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Highlands Estate Craigieburn 217Mar 24, 2010 8:56 am avish hmm.....it seems that I cant even build a fence or driveway till I get the handover... Now I thought since this was external to the house shouldn't be an issue but obviously it is... has anybody faced this issue and is this common ? How funny... I just came into this topic to ask a similar question and saw that this was the most recent post which is yet to be answered. My question though - the developer's rules state that you can't move in until you have fencing, a driveway and a letterbox. Given that (as pointed out above) you can't do most of these things until after handover from the builder - it's going to extend the time between getting the keys and actually moving into the house. Does anyone know how strict the developer is in enforcing this??? What have other Highlanders done to get this sorted out as quickly as possible after they get the keys?? Does anyone have any fencing/driveway contractor recommendations (via PM if you prefer)?? P.

A certificate of occupancy should be obtained by your builder and provided to you. Stockland has no control over this - I moved in over a month ago without any of these items.
