APPROVAL PROCESS

Step 1 – Design

Your builder will work with you to design your home to meet the mandatory design guidelines. It is important that your builder has access to the Gainsborough Greens Design Guidelines.

During the design phase, should you or your builder wish to raise any questions with Mirvac, please submit your query to gainsborough@mirvac.com

Step 2 – Submission

Once your design is finalised, please submit your Covenant Application via email to gainsborough@mirvac.com. Including full sited plans, Colour Schedule, Landscape Plan and your Bond receipt.

Step 3 – Covenant Bond Payment

Your bond is held in trust and is fully refundable upon completion of your home and landscaping in accordance with the Design Guidelines. Be sure to include the proof of bond payment as part of your Covenant Application to avoid a delay in the assessment and approval process.

Step 4 – Assessment

The Design Committee will assess your plans for compliance with the Design Guidelines. This process will generally take 2 weeks, assuming all information is provided. Any items requiring amendment will be raised with you and your builder, and plans will need to be amended and resubmitted prior to approval being granted.

Step 5 – Covenant Approval

Covenant Approval will be issued when the submission has been assessed by the Design Committee and complies with the Design Guidelines. Please take care to note any comment(s) on your approved plans to ensure that all conditions of the Covenant Approval are addressed.

Step 6 – Building Approval

Once Covenant Approval has been issued, an application can then be made to your accredited building certifier/Council for the statutory building application.

Step 7 – Construction

Please ensure that your lot is properly maintained to be free of excessive weeds, rubbish or garbage prior to and during the construction phase of your home. This will ensure that your land is clean and safe at all times.
