Initially, you will need to put down a $5,000 deposit to secure the land lot you would like to purchase.   

The purpose of a covenant bond is to ensure the homes built at Gainsborough Greens are delivered in accordance with the plans submitted and approved by Mirvac.  At Gainsborough Greens, this is a one-off payment which is payable when you submit your house and landscaping plans for approval.  When you have finished building your home and your landscaping is complete, you will book in a covenant inspection.  When the inspection is passed, your bond will be refunded to you.

You can start building your home once you have:

+  Settled on your land

+  Have covenant approval from Mirvac on your house and landscaping plans

+  Your covenant bond has been paid

You have 12 months from the date of settlement to commence building your home.  Once you have started construction, you have a further 12 months to finish building and landscaping.

You will need to coordinate with your adjoining neighbours to arrange the side and rear fencing to your block.  We can send an email on your behalf to the surrounding owners requesting they get in touch to coordinate fencing arrangements.  Please contact the Gainsborough Greens Settlements Team with your best contact details and the lots you wish to get in touch with.

HOT TIP: The boundary fences separating your neighbours must be “Good Neighbour Fence” and not visible to public areas.  In order to ensure a covenant compliant outcome, we encourage you to familiarise yourself with the boundary fencing parameters before engaging your neighbours.
