Anybody building at Googong ?

Hi all,
Hope evderyone's builds and new homes are going well :-)
Thought I'd put it out to the forum to (possibly) save me some time, I'm trying…

Has anyone gone through the process of getting the landscaping bond back yet?
Just curious how it went and if they were really strict on the guidelines?

Im getting the same speeds with TPG after ours was installed this week.

Sweet, cheers for that.
Do you mean green bin (garden waste?) as well as the normal rubbish, or is it just garden waste this week?

9 years9 yearsTrickeyTrickey posted:

So random question...
When is bin day, and is it one or both this week?
:-)

I would greatly appreciate any stonemason recommendations people may have, especially those who have said they can do walls cheaper than the concrete sleepers :-)

Yeah I'm pretty sure we can use them but the DG's did say something about not allowing the plain concrete ones.
There are certainly plenty of places using them out…

I have to say we were never told that the courts were included in our Club Googong membership, we always knew that there was an additional cost to either use…

Heya,
We are on the corner of Pickering and Carl. The block with the big cut is the one behind us on Carl St.
:D

Yeah I was worried about that but we got told that in this instance that natural ground line and level are the same as that section of our bock was…

So did you end up with retaining walls that encroach onto your block?
Is your fencline is off now also? (Assuming you cant put the posts for the fence through the…

We have the same issue, our neighbors have had a huge cut done that well and truly crosses onto our block. Our builder seems to think that it is because…

We lost it with our builder today too, finally got sick of the complete lack of communication and then got told that we had attitude when we called asking for…

Have Googong/CIC made any comment about this as yet?
Given the rules they state we must adhere to are now substantially different to those the council seem to be enforcing you…

I thought the compliance bond for the landscaping and the 12 week window for completion was a CIC requirement not the QCC?
Don't quite understand how they can insist that landscaping…

We hope to hear from our builder today as the indication they gave us two weeks ago was that we would have started this week. Since then however we have…

Ours took a little over three weeks which was great. They came back asking for one minor change which we accepted over the phone and the final approval was then…

I'm pretty sure that if your neighbor/s want to put up a 'more expensive' fencing option (ie colourbond) and you want the cheaper option then the preference goes to the…

Hopefully everyone starts getting the same type of calls now :-)
Very exciting!!!!

Well what started out as a frustrating day has had a pleasant turn indeed.
We just got our plans back from CIC all approved and on the first pass!!!!
Very exciting…
