Featherbrook Overview Plan

Easter holidays are here... and its a long weekend + holidays... many are travelling during this easter, but I decided to lay back and rest... and probably do some updates on my blog...

I guess, since I started blogging about Featherbrook developments, I have made 1 big mistake, that is missing out the overall development plan of Featherbrook. Here I attach the overall development plan of Featherbrook Point Cook.

The area labelled as "Residential" is actually belongs to PointCook Thirty Thirty (3030) estate. If you are interested, there are more land sales launches in the near future..

Eventhough at the moment, the land in Featherbrook are almost sold out, they have informed that, there will be a new land releasing soon, to the left of Featherbrook, and will be named Parkbrook. Scaling the size of 3/4 of the existing Featherbrook, it seems that this upcoming development will have a better landscape compared to its predecessor. So until then, lets wait and see when will the launching be... & lets judge if its better...

At the moment, there are only 3 more stages to be completed in Featherbrook estate, which are Stage 19, 20 & 21. Expected completion date are as follows :

Stage 19 : May ( Titling in June/July 2011 )
Stage 20 : July ( Titling in August/Sept 2011 )
Stage 21 : Sept ( Titling in Oct/Nov 2011 ).

These are all the rough estimation given by Featherbrook, but its subject to weather condition as well. So hopefully these milestone will be met.

When I initially bought the land, I was told that it will be titled in April 2011, but now, it seems to have been delayed 4 months time...

Here is a bigger picture of Featherbrook in Point Cook Suburb.

The future Parkbrook will be to the left of the current Featherbrook...

Featherbrook Stage 19 & 20 - updates

Pre easter holidays updates. These photos were taken on the 21st of April 2011. Not that much of development though since the last update that I have posted earlier was just 5 days apart from this posting...
However, some noticable changes within these 5 days...

 Drainage is currently on the way at Stage 19, Featherbrook Drive...

 This could be part of the electric wiring as well, I am guessing...

 The road border running across Featherbrook Drive... Temporary sand has been use for trucks to pass by without damaging the just completed border... Actually I am not sure if those are called a border.. do correct me if I am wrong... I just called it road borders as I am not quite sure what's the actual name it should be called...

Drainage at Ironwood Drive...

 Easement at Stage 20...

 Ready to be planted....

These are really huge to cater for the amount of waste in the future...

Featherbrook Stage 19 & 20 - updates

here are some of the latest update that I have captured for the land development in featherbrook stage 19 & 20.

These photos were taken last Sunday, April 17.
It will be a long holiday this easter, thus, there might not be much progress though...

 Capital way, almost completed... hopefully to see this completed by this weekend....

 Featherbrook drive.. this time the other side of the road is completed... each side almost takes up to a week to complete... wonder, when will the actual road be completed? 3 weeks from now? let's see...

Alamanda estate from featherbrook dr...

 Stage 20, Yellow box drive... not much progress so far...

 Easement almost completed at this side of stage 20...

 The unfinished business....

 Capital way still under progress...

Run for the Kids Melbourne Charity Run - Updates

It was a tiring run... maybe because I didn't prepare well enough...
But overall, it was great! nice weather though....
Here are some pics...

 It was 8 am, and there were already so many participants there... very enthusiastic ...

 Thats the starting point...

 and there are lots of funny looking people around... the green incredible hulk? we have 3 of them...

 Mr tall muscle man?

 clowns?

 the scene where the short course run was flagged off..., they were flag off at 845am, and by 910, there are still people just about to cross the starting line... amazing right? there are so many participants, and it took half an hour to clear all of them....

 Domain tunnel filled with runner instead of cars this morning...

 Wow... Mother with baby on prem...

The 7km marker and you can see the bolte bridge in site...

 The nike station... blast with great motivation songs... like eye of the tiger etc... it was a moral booster especially when you are tired and your mind pestering you to rest...

 Grapes for refreshment after the race... The grapes really taste so sweet... yum...

 And gatorate to clench your thirst... the girls mixing the drinks...

Lastly.. the official sponsored car...

The results will be out at the herald sun on Tueday 19 April 2011
