August Update
Stage 1, The Grove Release, is now titled!
You and your relevant parties (builders, surveyors and landscapers) can now access the site so you can finalise your home design, fencing and landscaping plans.
We have commenced landscaping the streetscape. As a result, you may notice some soil present on nature strips - this is because we have been preparing the holes for street tree installation and ameliorating the soil before tree planting and turfing.
Home Design Approval Process
Before commencing any building works on your homesite, you must first obtain approval from the Panorama Portarlington Design Panel (PPDP). This process and application requirements are outlined in the Design Guidelines.
Site Access for Soil Tests & Valuers
If your valuers or builders require site access to complete valuations or soil tests, please coordinate access with Ash Beddison from Bild Group at 0447 439 865 or ash.beddison@bild.group. Individual lot boards are installed on all Stage 1 lots for easy identification.

Stage 1 Compaction Report
Earthworks involves the loosening, removing, depositing, shaping, compacting or stockpiling of existing soil and/or the importation or removal of fill. Site re-grading is carried out to adjust the slope and elevation of the soil.
Earthworks

Sewer

Each block will be provided with the reticulated sewer services. These pipes are laid in a trench and the area is usually protected by an easement. Reticulated sewerage systems (network of pipes) carry sewage from homes to modern sewage treatment plants.
Once the earthworks and sewer is complete, we then commence the construction of the road base, kerb, footpaths, driveways and other services prior to the placement of the asphalt.
Road infrastructure
