Approval process

Approval process

Building at Everdene, Mulgoa requires an approval process to ensure the neighbourhood is kept consistent. To deliver the Everdene Vision and create harmonious streetscapes, each home must contribute, therefore a $5,000 compliance bond will be required at the time of your land settlement and returned in line with completion of your home and landscaping meeting compliance.

“A home surrounded by soft landscapes and natural vistas, evoking a sense of tranquility”

STEP 1 – Select your Builder

Once you’ve selected the home that suits your needs, your builder will assist you with your material and colour selections that will need to take in consideration the Everdene Design Guidelines, section 88b instrument and all other relevant planning controls.

After you have completed this, submit your house plans, colour schedule and landscape design plans to the Everdene Portal. From here Mirvac’s Design Review Panel will review your submission.

STEP 2 – Approvals

The Mirvac Design Review Panel (DRP) will then review your submission and ensure it aligns with the design guidelines. The DRP will let your builder know if any changes are required or if it’s approved.

Your builder will then be able to submit your building documents through to your principal certifying authority which can either be Penrith City Council or a private certifier.

Once you have settled on your land, and have all approvals in place your home can commence construction.

STEP 3 – Compliance Bond Refund

Once your home and landscaping has been completed and you have achieved occupation certificate, submit a request through the Everdene Design Portal for a compliance inspection. An inspection of the home will then be completed by a Mirvac representative. If your home is consistent with your approved plans and compliant with the Design Guidelines, your bond will be refunded.

You will need both design approval from Mirvac’s Design Review Panel (DRP) and building approval from either Penrith City Council or an Accredited Building Certifier before you commence construction.
