Buying Land at Octave

What is the process to purchase a lot?

It’s a good idea to arrange your finance pre-approval to establish your budget before you start your home selection research. We will then assist you to select an available lot that meets your needs and you will pay a $1000 holding deposit. To formalise the sale, a deposit of 5% deposit of the total purchase price of the land is paid and we sign the contract documentation. You’ll then need to engage a settlement agent/solicitor who will handle the paperwork and clarify any special terms and conditions. They will also manage everything once your block has been constructed and it is time to ‘settle’ on your block by paying the balance and taking ownership.

What are the council rates expected to be?

Junction Village sits within the City of Casey. The rates are calculated by multiplying the value of your property by the ‘rate in the dollar’ that the council needs to fund construction, maintenance, and services within the community. For the most recent assessment view the “how we calculate your rates” guide on the council website.

What are your design guidelines for the estate?

Each residential lot is sold with Design Guidelines as part of the contract of sale. These have a range of requirements and restrictions you should consider before completing your house design. You will need to work closely with your builder to ensure that you comply with the Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines are in place to ensure Octave maintains a high-quality streetscape including homes and landscaping throughout the community for all residents to benefit from.

Why can't I own a cat in the estate?

This is a council regulation and applies to all of Botanic Ridge, as well as Settlers Run Estate. This includes cats who are always kept indoors. These areas including Octave are close to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne. The gardens are home to many native and endangered animals, including the endangered Southern Brown Bandicoot. Cats are natural predators and are a danger to these native animals. Dogs and other animals are not considered a threat to these native animals.

Contact Casey Council for more information.
