7. Are there covenants on the type of house I can build?
Yes. When purchasing a section in a new subdivision there is always a concern about what your neighbours will build next to you and what other houses in the subdivision will ultimately look like. Our covenants protect purchasers by ensuring all houses are designed and built to a high standard. The covenants also ensure the sections are well maintained and free from unsightly vehicles, equipment and rubbish.
8. Who oversees the covenants and management of common areas?
A committee of co-owners will be formed to administer and manage the common areas and building covenants. Elections are held each year and all owners are entitled to vote and be on the committee if elected.

The services supplied to each site are all underground to preserve the natural environment and include:

· Wastewater (a connection to a communal system)
· Telephone
· Water from one of the local fresh water springs (which is designed to augment water collected from your roof)
