yeah my house is 'NBN ready'. but that means we cabled the whole place with cat6. Each data point cost me $88 and I installed 15. Not like we are…

More info about the land charge stuff is here: https://www.facebook.com/ResidentsAgain ... rge?ref=hl for the new people.
I agree we shouldn't be paying anything given our increased burden…

I agree with Benjo - do your research before starting. This thread is a good example - things to look out for in North Kellyville: Rain gardens, water tank size,…

sweet velocity is wholesale now. That is good news.
I think most of the land off Hezlett will be pretty decent dirt, but the slope of the land can make it…

that is great news guys. good work.

Indeed, I am familiar with velocity, but you are in a pure NBNco area, so you should fall under the vanilla wholesale->retail structure. Only other option is to find an…

I would imagine you need an antenna for FTA TV. The rebroadcast tech for developers is probably not worth it in that scale at all.

gday inderpal75.
Barry is a great guy. Elsa was also fine to deal with when he was away. You need to push and chase everything, but beechwood have built us a…

which cost do you mean sunny? I am not sure of the exact cost for moving the pit, but the figure $4500 rings a bell. It was custom quoted, as…

The concreter was all over it. And it was the cheapest option! moving it was going to be thousands.

My in-laws just got a driveable lid put on the pit. Seems to work out ok. They even got it in the same colour as the rest of the driveway.…

yeah from everything I have witnessed, these things are a little loosely followed when it comes down to it.
Also, we didn't have to have a landscaping plan at all -…

Hi John_
welcome to North Kellyville!
I would make sure you understand the raingarden requirements. Also the extra land charge for water use you might need to pay ($1000 over first 5…

Ahh that's a shame Nina. Our house is high on our block so you can't really see the roof except from a distance. I agree that would make a difference.

Nope no whirlybirds.

Just to bump this thread... Out surfmist roof works great.. I have just moved in and today was 29 degrees in Sydney and inside our house was a nice 19c…

Barry road will get NBN soon enough.
EDIT: Barry Rd is covered by Telstra's tophat FTTN programme, which means they get cabinet and can get faster sync speeds than us.…

According to this spreadsheet:

I think our DSLAMs in our exchange are due for an upgrade. Hopefully this happens soon, and the amount of ADSL2…

we got caught with the razor undermount sink. Very happy with the pete evans replacement.
Our main floor tiles got out of stock for ordering, so we chose another darker one,…

Hills shire have been very helpful in my dealings with them. If you have the time, you can try go there in person - they will try and find the…

the adventist school has fibre I believe, probably telstra. The area is classes as zone 3 though, so for business fibre, it is very expensive. I thought of getting it…

getting a backhaul from the exchange on barry road to our little area off hezlett seems more likely than getting KVST upgraded. Where exactly are you building again onggie?

Kellyville or KVST? I was under the impression the phone lines ran to KVST.
heaps of info here:

Damn it appears you are correct.
I will have…

single biggest improvement to a basic house design I reckon. Very happy we agreed to pay for it.

Keep up the good work bashworth

Hey Littlej,
be very interested to hear your feedback on the process. What things are you going to look out for? How long did it take and what needed to be…

Hey all,
I created another facebook page!
This time it is for North Kellyville. I wanted a place where we could translate our "building homes" community spirit into a "living in…

hi 4evaesh, not yet. I don't think printing 1000 A5 flyers will cost very much at all. A ream of paper is like $10. The design and content is more…

thanks chef. together we stand

agreed mars78. Not to mention the cost being spread over 5 years does not reflect the length of time of the investment. The land and infrastructure they are purchasing and…
