FAQ

Are titles issued yet?

The title for Lot 1 has been issued and has been sold. The title for Lot 2 has not yet been issued. We are waiting on assessment of our wetland regeneration but this process can be expidited if required. Please contact us for more information.

Are the titles subject to any convenants or easements?

Lot 2 will have no easements or building restrictions. All titles (including our own) will be subject to covenant restrictions regarding the use of industrial machinery, motocross bikes and specific dog breeds that are known to cause problems with stock. Our neighbours on Hungry Creek Road run stock and like their peace and quiet, and so do we.

Is electricity available?

Yes. By law we must provide supply of power to the boundary before title can be issued. Underground power has been supplied to the boundary of Lot 1 and Lot 2. It will be the buyer's responsibilty to bring power from the boundary to their dwelling. This is a straight-forward process and something we now have experience with so can provide advice and assistance if required.

Are telecommunication services available?

Yes. By law we must prove that telecommunication services are available on the sections before title can be issued. All sites have been tested and certified for both mobile cellular reception and wireless internet services and are more than adaquate for standard, home telecommincations. Contact us for a copy of the report.

There are no "hard-wired" telecommunication services available at this time. The Chorus copper network currently extends as far as 42 Hungry Creek Road (about 0.5km from Lot 2) and the fibreoptic network runs past the bottom of Hungry Creek Road along SH1.

Has geotechnical testing been done on the house sites?

Yes. By law we must provide proof that a "safe and stable" building platform and access can be created before title can be issued. Please contact us for a copy of the geotechnical reports.

Are there plans to upgrade Hungry Creek Road?

Yes, but there is no schedule at this stage. The entrance to Te Muri Regional Park is at the end Hungry Creek Road. The park is not yet open to the public and access will be by way of walking track only. The current plan is to install a parking area at the entrance to the part at the end of Hungry Creek Road and doing so will require upgrading the road. Our understanding is that a median strip and turning bay at the intersection of Hungry Creek Road and SH1 will also be created at some point in the future.

What about the new Puhoi-Warkworth SH1 extension? How will this affect properties on Hungry Creek Road?

The SH1 extension is scheduled for completion in 2022. A north bound off-ramp and south-bound on-ramp will be constructed close to the Puhoi turnoff, facilitating easy access for Hungry Creek Road residents.

Additionally, use of the new motorway will drastically reduce traffic on what is now SH1, making entry into and exit out of Hungry Creek Road easier. This map depicts the new motorway's exact location including the off-ramp and on-ramp.
