New landscape in West Melbourne

Anyone looking to move in MP anytime soon?
We are finishing building by mid-October, so maybe shifting in by late October/early November.

Did anyone notice that the road at the entrance had some work done on it? Or maybe I am dreaming ha ha!

Yeah, the entrance is quite shabby isn't it? Hopefully they can get it sorted sooner rather than later.

Does any one know the current price for new/existing blocks in MP?

Thanks for replying Nic!
Its not too much rubbish at all, just some rocks and weeds. Maybe a couple of hours of work tops, if that. I would gladly do it…

Thanks Lunchtime. Just went through the initial contract, it mentions 'Anticipated Building Start' date as 19/03/10.
I am not too sure now after I saw the word anticipated in there.…

Thanks for the reply joles.
Yes, I can see how that makes more sense. I should probably ask them for a breakdown of the expense.
