Mullum Creek Holiday Period

The Mullum Creek DRC will be taking its annual break from 22 December 2017 to 21 January 2018. No design support or review work will be undertaken during this period. However from 8 January onward, we will be available to answer queries regarding homes under construction on the estate (call 03 9480 0605), and we will continue to conduct site visits and inspections.

External Style Guide

For those who have not yet begun the design process, over the past few months we have put together an External Style Guide, a collection of beautiful design images with commentary on material, form, colour and texture.

A building that shows architectural interest and blends within the surrounding environment is an integral part of the Mullum Creek vision. Although not all of the images used in this Guide are completely aligned with the Mullum Creek Design Guidelines, all have design elements which could be used for a Mullum Creek home. To view the External Style Guide, click here or visit the Mullum Creek website.

Letterbox requirements

We’ve recently received a request from John Watt, an OH&S officer at Australia Post, asking us to inform residents about Australia Post’s delivery requirements to residential addresses.

“For single residential premises in public roadways, delivery will be made into a mail box of Australia Post approved dimensions, which is to be located at the junction of the footpath and the driveway, within easy reach for delivery by the postal delivery officer.”

John has encouraged all new home owners to seek his advice regarding the location and dimensions of mail boxes. He is contactable by:
Email:      john.c.watt@auspost.com.au
Phone:     03 9298 3911

Below are examples of potential letterbox arrangements. In each case it is important that the letterbox is within immediate reach from the driveway or footpath.
