Does anyone have solar panels?
Are you happy that…

My husband and I worked in the city and lived in Doncaster during the build and went out to check on the progress almost every day. Lots of kilometres racked…

I wish you all the best with your build and hope it goes well for you. Our build was 11 1/2 months!

I probably don't need to tell you but watch the build often and carefully.

Lyndarum and Summerhill would not be out because their carrier would not be Places Victoria.
I have had a conversation with iPrimus and all they can say is that PV is…

I have also rung VU 3 times Wed/Thurs/Fri and got the run…

Hello Aurora residents
Is anyone having problems with internet connection? I rang our service provider last night and again tonight and they have no idea how long it will be before…

Have been told Aurora Northern Town Centre will have Coles supermarket and it will be completed in 16 months. Can we believe this.

Fox in our front yard (Radiance Ave - Aurora estate) 2 morning ago. Looked out the front door and a juvenile fox sauntered down our drive, stopped and looked around.…

Not just the nature strip!!!
We are getting fresh excrement every few days on our front lawn and even on the ground cover. I am not impressed.

Yes, we had problems last year - September. The preparation was atrocious. No/very little garden soil, and only 37 plants. We are on a corner block and so should have…

Finally we have got the speeds that we are paying for. It has taken 3 months. iPrimus was great and kept battling for us.

(Faster than 99% of AU)
This has made…

Update on internet woes:
Tech came back today. The battery back up in the comms cabinet died. It was replaced with a new one. The good news is that we do…

Sorry no idea why it is down. Had a call from RSP - working on the problem and will let us know in the next few days what the problem…

Internet speeds atrocious. With one of new providers. Have had conversations with them for weeks.
Had a tech (sent by developer/internet infrastructure owner?) come out 2 days ago - he…

Hi All
Re: Internet speeds
We have suddenly scored 78.41 download speed and 30.55 upload speed. It's amazing what happens if you do query problems. We have had no explanation as to…

Hi All
Answers to a few of the questions asked of me.
Boj -

Router is…

Hi All
Re new Internet connection - We are on a 100/40 plan. Our speeds are only around 20 download and low single figures for upload. Ridiculously slow considering what we…

Your current bandwidth reading is:
2.28 Mbps
Yes, Oztish
Just did a test using speedtest.net and this is what…

Internet/tv connection completed yesterday. No Foxtel through fibre optics as there is no contract with either supplier at this stage.
The lock in the comms box was changed and we…

We insisted with our builder (one of the ones no longer in Aurora) that we have a fence on all 3 boundaries. This was drawn on our plans (cross hatched…

My guess on why VU haven't made a big deal to say that the new providers are available is that they are already getting allot of calls about new connections…

Got an "Interim telecommunication services update" with an accompanying double sided "Fibre to the Home Information Sheet" today in the mail.
Point 5 is interesting.
5. Will I be able to access…

I was told a few days ago that someone in Aurora was fined for planting roses in their front garden. Does anyone know if this is true?

What do you all think of the cost of the recycled water?

Have you been told Arise is a provider? I thought that they had pulled out.

What does everyone think of the park with the tennis courts? It is great to see the courts being used as much as it is. During the holidays the courts…

Thanks, Acherion. Sorry the images are so large.
