And you have a stack of questions? Problem solved\u2026<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">At Brunslea Park we like to make things as efficient and easy as possible. When making big financial decisions, there\u2019s always a lot to consider. We believe in transparency and working with you to ensure you have all the information you need to be comfortable to take that next step. To achieve this, we\u2019ve taken a \u2018put ourselves in your shoes\u2019 approach and have collated all the essential data you need to know about buying land.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">1. Soil\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">It\u2019s important to understand the type of soil prior to purchasing your land. Building your home\u2019s foundations ultimately depend on the soil you\u2019re building on. A good chat with your builder will provide more insight. The soil type at Brunslea Park tends to be MD or H. In modern building, builders often use Waffle Pod slabs to assist with any movement.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">2. Land Access \/ Council Restrictions \/ Covenants \/ Preservation Orders<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">You want to choose a beautiful block to build that beautiful home, so let\u2019s make sure there are no unsuspecting surprises. Covenants are specific to each land release and set by the developer; this information can be provided at the time of enquiry. It\u2019s important to review these before building. Our main contractual agreements relate to the size of your home relative to your block, as well as the building timeframe. At Brunslea Park you must begin building within 12 months of land purchase, and your landscaping must be complete 6 months after the completion of your build. These agreements protect the overall aesthetic appeal of Brunslea Park and ensure it remains true to the strategic vision of a beautiful estate. We like to make things as easy and streamlined as possible, so if you have any questions we are here to help.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">3. Utilities and Services Available<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">We are an estate ready to go, with electricity, sewer, water and gas already connected. What about NBN? Brunslea Park is an NBN-ready estate \u2013 fantastic news. The nbn\u2122 network is so much more than fast internet; from education to business and entertainment, it gives us all the opportunity to be more productive, more creative, more efficient and more connected. Tip: just ensure your building contract includes the appropriate NBN provisions.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">4. Builder Inspection<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">We think it\u2019s a great idea to get your builder (or a land specialist) on site to discuss the best lot for your needs. Important and exciting conversations can be had around positioning your home to maximise natural light, save on future energy costs, and potentially reduce site costs through smart cut-and-fill decisions.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">5. Land Use \/ Zoning<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">It\u2019s important to know about area planning and the rules for land use on surrounding properties. Which industries, if any, are allowed to operate? Is it truly residential? Do you want something that might interrupt your vision of a quiet neighbourhood? At Brunslea Park we have a long-term strategic plan, which you can read more about below.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">6.

What about future facilities?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">We believe it\u2019s good to know if there are any future plans for the estate you\u2019re considering. You may have heard talk, but is there specific information or timeframes? We\u2019re all about strategic planning and keeping our promises. Here\u2019s what\u2019s in the mixing pot at Brunslea Park:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Central Park is already open, featuring a modern playground, shaded BBQ area and walking paths. The overall 10\u201315 year development plan will continue to roll out new stages, ensuring Brunslea Park grows into a walkable suburb that promotes connection and a healthy lifestyle.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Ongoing streetscape and parkland enhancements \u2013 new pocket parks and tree planting are progressively being added to make every street feel established.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">8. The Neighbouring Properties<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Are your potential neighbouring properties well maintained? Any privacy issues? Is there a vacant block \u2013 what type of building is proposed? Even\u2026 \u201cI wonder what my neighbours are like?\u201d At Brunslea Park we offer a unique proposition that sets us apart. We work closely with every client purchasing within the estate, meaning we can help put neighbours in touch to discuss shared fencing costs, or simply to meet the people you\u2019ll be living next door to. We believe this is a really nice touch in making connections. Often in other estates it\u2019s difficult to get hold of the right people to resolve such queries. We see ourselves as a one-stop shop for all matters, not only during the purchase and building phase but right through to when you become a member of our community. We always remain a central contact for any questions or concerns.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">9. Wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could meet your potential neighbours?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">\u201cDucking next door to borrow some sugar soon becomes an easier process, when you know the people you\u2019re sharing a neighbourhood with. It\u2019s comforting.\u201d When a community connects, great things happen. We\u2019ve proudly heard amazing stories from Brunslea Park families helping each other out \u2013 one example was older kids looking after the little ones on the school bus. Such beautiful simplicity, evolving from the true meaning of community. When we seek to improve our way of life, the state of our country and connection with others, we believe in starting that in your own backyard and your own street. The term \u2018neighbourhood\u2019 has evolved over the years, and at Brunslea Park we\u2019re trying to wind the clock back and create a more connected community that benefits everyone.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>10.
