We've used Nathan from https://www.facebook.com/njslandscape/ twice and we've been extremely happy with him, excellent work.

Ok so that must be the new rate based on the fact that these are now residential lots. And as soon as the houses are built, we will get another…

I haven't received anything yet.

Why is that south siding block so much cheaper ? Any ideas?

Yep. To be honest I thought prices would be higher by now, but there's lots of demand and as you said there will be plenty of blocks for the next…

Ok so for the blocks that have under 1m slope fall, the prices at Timbertop are around $830 per square meter.
I also went to the Arcadia estate last week, and…

We are waiting for our building permit still.

We finally settled yesterday so we will be chasing the builder now to start asap. We have a bit of catching up to do judging from your comments

Oh very cool. I am looking to buy a drone too, and it would make great videos in cases like this, but I ran out of money, everything is going…

A little bit early for termite protection isn't it? THere's no houses there yet

We also had to push it back two weeks

I drove by today, there was someone doing a soil test I think on LOT 257.
The footpath that goes alongside the train tracks reaches all the way to station…

No, 4k

We heard back in a couple of days too, valuation came back 4k more than what we paid, so all good.

My girls woke up really late today so I didn't go afterall, thanks for the update Puddlette.

I'm gonna go there tomorrow with the girls to have a look.

I agree regarding the comparison with Timbertop. I went there a few weeks ago and the prices had increased since last year but not as much as I thought.
When is…

That is crazy expensive, considering these blocks were sold at around 550$ per square meter or something like that.

I went through the same process before and I understand your frustration, just keep in mind that there are government agencies involved, and they have their own pace of doing…

One the statement of compliance is issued, then the developer lodged the plan to the titles office for registration. Once the titles are released (2-3 weeks), then we'll get a…

In my previous block at a different council I was able to pay the cil over the phone just fine.

Thanks I did that and they basically forwarded my call to the "sales agent" but then got a voicemail recording.

Thanks for the reply
How many blocks are there in the estate in total do you know?
I left a couple messages yesterday but I received no…

We were interested in a block in this area but we drove by yesterday and there's no sales office, nothing there? I tried calling the number on their website and…

Not yet, we are getting the driveway built this week, so we will move in next week.
Congrats on your settlement, very exciting!
I've seen 2-3 families…

We're trying to arrange for our driveway to be built next week, but apparently our water taps in the front are exactly on the pathway in front of our door,…

BBQ sounds about right to me, let's do it as soon as we see some sunshine

We didn't afterall. We spoke to a few people but they didn't fill me with more confidence than our own builder's reports, so I skipped them.

Not really going through the contract, just a walkthrough around the house, making sure they haven't missed anything, and also that there's nothing they have to fix (there usually is…

We had our PCI last week as well, hoping to get keys end of next week.
I spoke to Opticomm today, apparently as soon as you pay, they call you to…
