Once the Planning Permit has been issued by Council, stage specific plans, including roads and drainage, sewer and water, gas, electrical, telecommunication and landscaping plans, are lodged for approval with the relevant authorities.
Engineering design continues, with approvals underway.
Machinery is brought onto site to strip existing topsoil and start shaping the land to ensure that the required levels are met for road and lot construction. This usually includes cutting and filling various areas within the stage, to meet required design levels.
Stage 16 Civil Works are well underway. Work on storm water, sewer and water infrastructure will continue over the next few weeks.
Further underground services are installed including electricity and telecommunications (fibre internet). Road construction takes place over several phases. Excavation and preparation of the base layer commences first and is often followed by installation of various conduit crossings and kerb construction.
Construction of the road continues, with numerous road layers completed through to the final asphalt layer. The stage starts to look like your future community, with driveways, footpaths and nature strips created.
Each stage is closely inspected and audited by various authorities to ensure the new infrastructure complies with the plans and relevant standards. The inspections and audits can be quite complex and often take some time to complete. Once all authorities have provided their approvals, Council will issue a Statement of Compliance (SoC).
Lodgement packages are prepared and finalised, individual titles for each lot are issued by the Titles Office. Your solicitor or finance broker is notified when this has occurred and will arrange for settlement.
Once settlement has occurred, your land is ready for you to commence the construction of your new home!
