The benefits of purchasing a house and land package in Tarneit.

When it comes to purchasing your dream home, the decision between buying an established property and opting for a house and land package is one many future homeowners face. While buying an established home offers the convenience of moving in immediately, selecting a house and land package offers numerous financial and practical benefits that may make the process more streamlined and cost-effective.

What is a house and land package?

A house and land package combines the purchase of land with the construction of a new home. Although it involves two contracts—one with the property developer and the other with the homebuilder—the process is more transparent because you know the total price upfront. Here’s why a house and land package might be the right choice for you:

1. Significant Stamp Duty Savings

Do you pay stamp duty on house and land packages? One of the most compelling reasons to consider a house and land package is the opportunity for significant savings on stamp duty. Unlike purchasing an existing home, where stamp duty is calculated on the full purchase price of the property, with a house and land package, you are only required to pay stamp duty on the value of the land itself. This can result in considerable savings—particularly in areas with high property prices. Imagine how much further your budget could stretch when you’re only paying taxes on a portion of your purchase, rather than the entire property! Jump onto the State Revenue Office website, their calculator will help you understand
stamp duty and the implications for your new home budget.

2. Take Advantage of Government Grants and Incentives

In many regions, building a new home qualifies you for government grants and financial incentives, such as the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) and other regional or national schemes aimed at boosting homeownership. For first-time buyers, this can reduce the upfront costs of entering the property market. By combining stamp duty savings with these government grants, you could substantially lower the overall cost of building your new home, making it easier to get your foot in the door.

3. Flexibility to Customise Your New Home

One of the main advantages of building from scratch is the freedom to design a home that perfectly suits your lifestyle and needs. Unlike buying an established home, where compromises are often necessary, a house and land package offers flexibility in customisation. You can tailor the layout for future family needs, choose modern finishes, and incorporate sustainable features like solar panels or energy-efficient appliances. Additionally, new homes require minimal maintenance in the early years, and a new home warranty provides extra peace of mind.

4. A Simplified Process

Building a home can be a daunting prospect, but house and land packages can provide a beneficial alternative. Builders and land developers work together, offering a combined product offering that may add value due to specific inclusions. Packages may also further simplify the process with turnkey house and land solutions, meaning your new home comes complete with landscaping, driveways, and other final touches, so you can move in without worrying about the little details.

5. House and land packages at Marigold

House and land packages at Marigold offer a flexible pathway to turning your dream home into reality. With community parks, shared open spaces, and a central location close to schools, shopping centres, and transport links, Marigold is the perfect package for families and investors alike.

Choosing a house and land package can offer financial savings, customisation options, and access to prime locations, all while simplifying the process of building your dream home. By paying stamp duty only on the land component, taking advantage of government grants, and building a home tailored to your needs, you’re not just purchasing a property—you’re making a smart investment in your future.

If you’re looking to maximise value and design a home that fits your lifestyle, house and land packages are now available at Marigold Tarneit.

Building Better Homes: The benefits of a 7-Star Energy Rating.

Energy-efficient homes aren’t just environmentally friendly—they’re also more comfortable to live in and can significantly lower your heating and cooling costs. In Victoria, the minimum energy efficiency standard for new homes has been raised from 6 to 7 stars as rated by NatHERS (The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme). Starting from May 1 2024 all new homes must meet the new 7-Star energy rating under the amended National Construction Code 2022 (NCC 2022).

How is a 7-Star Energy rating achieved in your new home?

Achieving a 7-star energy rating involves integrating multiple energy-saving features that work together to enhance your home’s overall performance.

Why should I install solar panels for my home? 

Installing solar panels on your home allows you to generate your own renewable energy, reducing dependence on the grid and saving money on your utility bills for years to come.

Enhanced Insulation

Homes with a 7-star rating feature superior insulation in the walls, ceilings, and floors. This creates a well-regulated indoor environment, minimising the need for extra heating or cooling.

High-Performance Windows and Doors

Double-glazed windows, insulated frames, and special glass coatings enhance energy efficiency by addressing the areas where homes typically lose heat or allow it to enter.

Energy-Efficient Appliances

In a 7-star-rated home, appliances are designed to use minimal energy without sacrificing performance. From air conditioners to refrigerators, these appliances ensure your home runs smoothly and efficiently.

Water-Saving Fixtures

Energy efficiency isn’t limited to power usage. Water-saving fixtures, such as low-flow taps and showerheads, help cut down water consumption, contributing to overall resource efficiency.

Key Benefits of NCC 2022 and a 7-Star Energy Rating

The National Construction Code 2022 is the minimum standard ensuring all buildings in Australia are safe, accessible, sustainable and durable. The introduction of the updated 7-Star Energy Rating in Victoria is an essential requirement to meet the livable housing design amendments.

Lower Energy Costs

The higher energy efficiency standard reduces the amount of energy required for heating, cooling, and lighting. Over time, this leads to lower energy bills and significant savings.

Improved Year-Round Comfort

Enhanced insulation and air sealing create a stable indoor temperature, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, making it a more pleasant place to live.

Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Victoria has set climate goals, including reducing emissions by 45–50% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Residential buildings contribute 11% of Australia’s emissions, and improving home efficiency can help meet these targets while reducing your own energy bills.

Find out more about 7-Star Energy Standards

Building a 7-star energy-rated home is an investment in the future—both financially and environmentally. Your family will enjoy lower energy costs, a  more comfortable living space, and the satisfaction of contributing to a sustainable future. Explore house and land packages at Marigold today and enhance your lifestyle with the benefits of an energy efficient new home.

Marigold Culvert

Reunion Parade Culvert Earthworks Complete!

The Marigold Construction Team are pleased to announce that earthworks on the culvert are complete!
Marigold’s Linear Creek is already an eye-catching feature of the community as you make your way along Padma Boulevard and see the scale and hive of activity along the reserve area and will soon be a showstopping feature of the community.

This milestone progresses the culvert to the next phase of above ground construction works.

Following the completion of the body of culvert works below, the gas and water services, including the watermain are installed alongside the road network above.  The installation of the water main involves the construction of underground pipes and associated infrastructure that will enable the water to flow and drain correctly through this portion of the community.

The construction team will also complete the electrical services installation along the road network and install the streetlamps for that section of road.

Once all the services are laid alongside the road network, the whole area is filled in and compacted in preparation for the road layers.

Construction of road above culvert

Each stretch of road is made up of multiple layers, compiling of multiple layers of various gravel, kerbs are added at the correct road height and then finally asphalt, which can be seen on the finished surface. Lastly, the road on top of the culvert is completed to connect the road network between stages 7 & 11 within the community. This also includes pavement construction which you can spy is currently being worked on throughout stages 7 and 11.

The culvert is a significant undertaking of a key amenity within the community. Once completed, the culvert will be managed by Melbourne Water and as such, has required careful planning and work completed alongside the authority. The final phase of this contract is acquiring their sign off for the work completed.

Once the authority approval is achieved, the construction team will commission landscaping works on the area to commence along Linear Creek and the connecting wetlands, finally bringing this impressive feature to reality.

Work on the culvert is anticipated for completion in line with the delivery of Stages 11 & Stage 7 due later this year.

Stay tuned for future construction updates coming soon!

Caring for Your Nature Strip!

The nature strip or ‘verge’ is the public space between your property and the road curb. It’s a zone that contains various utilities such as telecommunications, gas, water, and power services, as well as street lighting. Usually featuring grass and a tree, it serves several important purposes:

  • Providing a level area for waste and recycling bins.
  • Ensuring safe access for pedestrians, strollers, and wheelchairs between the road and footpath.
  • Enhancing visibility for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, particularly at intersections, curves, and driveways.
  • Allowing easy access for service providers to perform maintenance or repairs.
  • Creating room for tree planting, contributing to the neighbourhood’s greenery.

While the nature strips throughout the Marigold neighbourhood are the property of Wyndham City Council, the maintenance and regular upkeep are the responsibility of the landowner whose property is parallel to each nature strip section.

Basic Maintenance

Regular upkeep of your nature strip goes a long way in enhancing the overall ambiance of our community. Taking care of it involves simple tasks like regular mowing, weeding, and picking up litter. By keeping it clean and tidy, it creates a welcoming environment within our community for everyone.

Benefits of a Well-Maintained Nature Strip

Apart from the visual appeal, a well-kept nature strip brings various advantages:

  • It aids in rainwater absorption and minimises stormwater runoff,
  • Increase the aesthetics of the neighbourhood,
  • Softens the impact of the hard surfaces, the roads, and pavements.
  • Boosts your property’s value and overall well-being.

Street Trees
Another common feature of most nature strips are street trees. Street trees add to the natural aesthetics of our community as well as having practical benefits including providing shade, contributing to CO2 absorption within the environment and cooling down the neighbourhood.

You can help care for your street tree by following the below;

  • Watering it regularly – particularly in the drier months.
  •  Keeping the base weed free and mulched but remembering to keep mulch away from the tree trunks

Remember, the street tree is also the property of Wyndham City Council and cannot be removed without prior approval being granted. It is your responsibility to care for the street tree like it is your own and you may be held accountable for any damage that occurs to tree within your boundary.

Landscaping Ideas
Most nature strips comprise of grass and a street tree, however, they are not the only accepted treatments and you do have some liberties to beautify your patch.
Transforming your nature strip into a charming corner can be a rewarding project. Consider options like using gravel, mulch, and approved plants to give it a unique touch. However, please remember that your design should still accommodate essential functionality such as pedestrian pathways, postal services, vehicular movement, parking, and waste collection.

Landscape Permit Application
Should you decide to take your nature strip to the next level with landscaping, you’ll need to secure a permit. Adhering to the Beautification of Nature Strips Policy is crucial in ensuring your project aligns with community guidelines, which can be found here.

For further guidance on obtaining a permit for your nature strip, you can contact Wyndham City Council on 1300 023 411.

Our Marigold Sales team are always here to help! If you have any queries about anything mentioned above, please feel free to reach out via either of the methods below and let’s work together to create a beautiful and inviting community through our nature strip care efforts!
