Brimbank Gardens is a master-planned community developed by Peet Limited with building
guidelines and covenants in place designed to protect the value of property in the estate.
Building covenants assist homeowners design and build their homes to a high standard, which maximises the
value of their investment and maintains the appearance and quality of the community as it continues to grow.
Peet Limited has carefully developed covenants and guidelines that apply to roof pitch, building materials, floor areas,
garages and outbuildings. They also ensure driveways, fencing and landscaping are finished in a timely manner.
Details of the building covenants are subject to change at any time and specific covenants that apply to a particular property
form part of the contract of sale for that homesite. Peet recommends all buyers obtain a copy of the covenants for a specific
homesite and independent legal advice about building covenants.
When Peet Limited’s building covenants expire, on the date listed in the contract of sale,
any proposed changes to homesites become subject to local council approval processes.
