The developer and builder will not allow you to bag/render after handover. It is a requirement to have minimum two tone to the facade. In saying that, there are numerous…

1. Spoil removal is dirt removal, not rubbish. I would have imagined that this should be included.
2. H class slab upgrade is normal. Standard is M class. 99% of GF…

I am sure it is not structural. It would only be cosmetic. Too much acid would not cause brick to fall apart. I actually would not think that too much…

Just a quick heads up to any GF residents looking at landscaping. I have been told by a few neighbours in the estate about KC Landscapes. He has actually used…

Just talk to your neighbours about splitting the cost. You are all in the right to get your own quotes, then discuss the cheapest and best option for all. You…

We used Terry Elliot Pools and Spas.
He is an owner builder. Terry is your point of contact from quote to handover. No sales rep, No Bulls%#t.
My neighbour built with him,…

"Waters" is nice but sounds like we live along a canal or some sort of lake. Only we live behind a dirty river, thats the problem.
Same with Brighton Lakes estate.…

Construction certificate is the approval to commence construction

Also, to GFairResident, I am happy to see that the local residents are passionate about our estate but to lash out with a threat like that over a mere inconvenience…

Actually Bill, thats a good point. Someone asked me this morning where i live and I said Moorebank to which they asked where's that?

Its just a hassle to change name. If someone asks where abouts do you live and you say "Nuwarra Waters", they say "oh yeah, where's that?".........You say "Moorebank".

Yeah what happened to the corner block fence guideline? Thought they were supposed to be brick pillars with timber insert. Looks like you can just build whatever you want now..

No speed humps. They are annoying and dont stop the hoons. They just go slow over them and then bag the wheels up after it. I came from Chippo where…

Welcome back!! You may still find a couple of the oldies still pondering around here. Good to see you are finally moving in.

The only guideline is for the council which is the council section has to be plain…

We're in the process of organising a pool now. Hopefully start early in the new year. You would only need strengthening to the house if the pool is really close.…
