Looking for some positive feedback after someone has had a job done! Thanks Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 4003Oct 26, 2013 5:59 pm Ok people in Mernda Villages. I for one am sick and tired of having stuff taken from my front garden, most recently came home from a few days away with the family to find one of our new solar lights knocked off. Time has come for me to ask the question about front fencing in Mernda villages. I know it is in the guidelines from Stockland that no front fencing allowed ...... however...... how enforceable are these guidelines as I have seen quite a number of properties during my walk around Mernda villages with front fencing. So can we or cant we put up a front fence?? Any feedback appreciated. Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 4004Oct 27, 2013 3:42 pm In the news the other day they said the suburb with the highest crime / burglary rate was Heidelberg, and Mernda / Doreen is in the top 10. Maybe that explains your predicament Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 4005Nov 10, 2013 9:40 am Jase Ok people in Mernda Villages.

We briefly thought about buying in Laurimar but decided to stick with MV. Was there a reason you chose to move to MV from Laurimar? No other questions at this point... we're pretty familiar with the area, Stockland etc. For now, just counting down to the land title date follow my instagram for progress: @tashmurtagh building in Mernda Villages, Victoria - land contracts signed on 16/11/13 - land titles Apr/May 2014 Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up!

No other questions at this point... we're pretty familiar with the area, Stockland etc. For now, just counting down to the land title date When is your land titling? We wanted a larger block >700sqm and what was available was out of our price range or on a decent slope and not worth it. We wanted to still stay in the area. Just hope the Mernda Town centre makes a move on. Anyone know what the plans are after Woolworths drafts were knocked back??

The jim's fencing house he had tools stolen out of his trailer the other week Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 4013Dec 04, 2013 8:31 am mak_ our block seems teeny tiny compared to yours, it's half the size! It has a title date of May but Stockland tell us they try and title up to 4 weeks early, so possibly looking at April next year. Hopefully not too much longer! If I recall reading correctly your block/stage had some delays when it came to the title? Is that to be expected with most lots, do you think? follow my instagram for progress: @tashmurtagh building in Mernda Villages, Victoria - land contracts signed on 16/11/13 - land titles Apr/May 2014 Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up!

Was meant to be June-July but it ended up being mid September. It all depends on the weather as well. I think the delay would have been with all the rain. You should be fine (fingers crossed) it's summer so the weather is on your side. Whereabouts in MV did buy? on the other side of Langdon drive.... Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up!

Do you think land is expensive in Berry Lane compared to Mernda village and Renaissance Rise which are other side of the Plenty Road?
