Please keep me inform on the situation, fingers crossed that is not the case.

So I'm guessing the developer haven't lodge this with the council.

Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 47Jun 25, 2017 10:58 am Yesterday afternoon we went on-site since we had some time to kill and was surprised that Ausbuild seem to have already started site prep with our land and also one of the neighbouring lot, we also met one of the neighbours that lives 4 houses up a lovely family, can't wait to see their build progress as well.

The other lots have retaining walls build by the developer at no cost do you guys think this is something I can talk to them about our site?

H1 or H2? Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 50Jul 05, 2017 11:53 am Oh how exciting!!! I didn't know they were still developing land in Stretton lol. Nice area!! Looking forward to seeing your progress. Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 51Jul 05, 2017 12:09 pm its not stretton, its just called stretton heights. Its in rochedale past the landfill =) Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 52Jul 05, 2017 12:21 pm KangaBanga its not stretton, its just called stretton heights. Its in rochedale past the landfill =) Ahhh ok. That is confusing lol Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 53Jul 05, 2017 12:32 pm yeah not sure why ausbuild decided to call it stretton heights, stretton is nearby but still a couple suburbs away and on the otherside of the motorway. Maybe trying to capitalise on the fame of stretton as its near to runcorn/sunnybank hills and to attract the asian buyers from those areas who are more familiar with the name stretton. Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 54Jul 05, 2017 12:40 pm Karawatha is actually a suburb right next to Stretton, and Kanga is right calling its Stretton Heights is more attractive than Karawatha Heights. The developer is actually not by Ausbuild, they just got 5 lots from the developer and selling them on.

Make sure they dont charge you extra for waffle as it is the cheaper version of slab from what i read.
