Goodnight, the googs. I hope you have enjoyed your night and I won't hold this against you. We obviously are not reading each other right, which can be a problem…

Yes, I knew this was happening. As did CIC, they were organising it. How much effort would it have taken them to put something on their Facebook page or surveyed…

Okay, touchy much. All I was saying was that is is inconsiderate of people to knock on people's doors and harass them when they are clearly not participating. Did CIC…

Anyone else not happy about Boogong? Was there any consultation with residents as to whether we wanted this? Totally annoyed about cars blocking the street and multiple doorbell…

Totally agree enporched. My Dad told me to unplug the cord and cut it at the boundary line and throw the bit that was on our side in the bin.…

Yeah. I spoke to the builder and he said they don't have a connection yet due to council. I am not sure i believe that. Also means we have been…

Does anyone know what I can do to stop the building site next door from powering their site using our external power points? I rang the council and they can't…

Awesome thanks

How do you get the welcome pack? We moved in on the weekend feels good to be finished and living the dream.

Hi,
We are building across the border I highly recommend LED downlights. We have got them through our place. We chose warm white so it is…

Hi,
Our builder has told us that we will be in in 6-8 weeks. It has gone so quickly. And I just realised I had better get a move on and…

Nope we are behind the grey/ blue house on the hill. Builder said it isn't a problem as they cut it off at the slab anyway, so that is a…

Blair Cres, we only have bottom of the split level slab at the moment. No idea who would have done it or why. It seems pretty pointless.

Had our first bit of vandalism on our site. Looks like someone tried to use our slab and one of the bathroom drainage pipes as a fireplace. Has melted one…

We have a fence!!
Who would have thought a temp site fence would be so exciting. Set out booked for Monday and site cut for Thursday/Friday. Over 12 months…

Just letting fellow Canberrans know that our annual 'Walk for a Cure for Brain cancer' is coming up on the 30th November at Stromlo Forrest park.
Building a house is…

Does anyone know what species of tree is planted along the verge of Baker, Baxter and Blair?

They may have gotten a complying development through a certifier. We looked at that possibility, but our house does not comply with NSW building codes, we needed to get council…

Oh which dishwasher did you originally select? We have a smeg...
Still not officially approved- the town planner has approved it so now it just needs to go through the admin…

There was also this article in the paper that may explain a bit behind the measures and fines

We sold our house in Feb 2013 and the commission was 2%
We paid approx $1500 in advertising fees.
Hope that helps

Enporched, The Landscaping plan is pretty easy to do as along you read the guidelines.
Here is ours to give you an idea on what they need from you, I just…

Is anyone going to do their front landscaping themselves?
We are tossing the idea around of completely doing it ourselves including the landscape plan. Has anyone else gone this route and…

You can pay to get an independent valuation. They are something you organise through a valuation company, and you can do that before going to the bank if you…

No, we are in 1c, just realised that is why we didn't get it. Not invited.

We had a problem with bank valuations. Our valuations ranged from 75k under to 120k under. Part of it is due to it being a new development and part…
