printgraphic Print Page

March, 2017

A developer is calling time on a $2000-deposit waiting list for Queenstown
sections.
Melbourne-based RCL Group says the registration database for subdivision
Hanleys Farm is too big.
Its releasing stage four of the development in April to those on the list 
then returning the remaining $2000 deposits.
No further releases are planned this year.
Boss David Wightman says: The database has just become very big and
unwieldy.
People are contacting us and wanting to go on but they might be number
700, 800 or 900.
Wightman wants a fresh start with a first-come first-served basis for future
stages. The companys happy with its database manager, realtor
BayleysLocations.
RCL has approval to create 1750 sections next to the Jacks Point golf
course and neighbourhood.
Its released a tenth of those so far, ranging roughly from 400sqm to
750sqm, costing between $200,000 to $300,000.
Works started on 100-section stage one. Stage two is 50 sections, while
there are 25 in stage three.
Wightman says stage four will be a significant number of sections, north
of 50.
Those on the waiting list will be invited to an April 8 purchase day, with
section sizes and prices released on the day.
Names will be read out from 9am sequentially, with people invited to buy
or have their deposit returned.
Wightman says scrapping the waiting list recognises the projects
transition to delivery.
Were not building a bunch of pre-sales.
He says the firms aware of the need for housing but is conscious of selling
sections ahead of construction.
Theres no point in me selling a block of land today that Im going to
deliver in three years time.
