A:Turf is not included in the Mio, Bravo, Ecco and Soho terrace homes, however the larger terrace homes will include some turf at the rear of the property. The terraces on display in the demonstration village highlight the use of turf and for further details of indicative landscaping designs, purchasers should speak directly to a Crace sales consultant.

A:Under the Territory Plan, the definition of a garage is a car shelter wholly or partly enclosed on more than 2 sides and includes an outbuilding. For each terrace type they are as follows:

Please note that the garages are not enclosed at the rear. They have been designed this way to allow the space to be used as an undercover entertainment area, which opens onto the private outdoor space of each terrace home. The terraces on display in the demonstration village highlight the different car accommodation styles, which have been described above.

A:Terrace homes are Separately Titled with Community Title over the commonly shared driveway. For further information refer to your land contract documentation about Community Title at Crace.

A:Most of the urban terraces have been designed to sit approximately 15 degrees to the right of E/W, with some north rear oriented.

A:Under the Building Code of Australia (BCA), party walls are required to provide a Sound Transmission Co-efficient rating of STC 50. The party wall system used with the terrace homes at Crace will achieve a STC 55 rating, which exceeds the BCA requirements. The one-hour fire rating for party walls also achieves the BCA fire rating requirements.

A:The party walls in the urban terraces at Crace are 265mm thick overall (132.5mm on either side of the boundary). The party wall is made up 90mm stud frame with 10mm plasterboard and insulation batts with a 25mm shaft liner, which provides the fire rating.

A:Terrace homes within Crace do not come with reverse cycle air conditioning, however all are fitted with two ceiling fans. The urban terrace homes have been designed to promote cross ventilation and all achieve a minimum (Energy Efficiency Rating) EER 5 star energy rating. Speak to a Crace sales consultant for information regarding the locations of ceiling fans.

A:Reverse cycle air conditioning can only be mounted on the party wall if another stud frame is provided for the mounting of the A/C unit. If the A/C unit is mounted directly on to the party wall; the STC rating as required under the BCA will be compromised.

A:An electric wall mounted heating system is used in all terrace homes within Crace.

A:Yes

A:All terraces will have a minimum (Energy Efficiency Rating) EER 6 star rating. Some terraces, including the Mio Plus and Bravo Plus will achieve more than EER 6 stars when upgrades such as roller blinds on all windows are included. If buyers choose the Green Package with double-glazing to all windows and doors, it is likely that a 6 star rating will be achieved.

A:Lightweight materials were selected for use in the construction of the Crace terrace homes, these materials were chosen to achieve a modern contemporary look with a diverse range of textures and finishes. The external materials used in the construction of the Crace terrace homes are made up of lightweight composite cladding from the range of James Hardie's Scyon product. Greenboard render and custom orb corrugated sheeting will also be used depending on the facade design. All external materials used are durable, low maintenance and allow for speed of construction, which makes the terraces more cost effective to build. For more information visit www.jameshardie.com.au

A:Generally the Mondo or Quattro Bookend terrace homes will be able to support a studio. Please note: it is not possible for studios to be built on blocks next to each other for both fire regulation requirements as well as to ensure the best possible urban design outcomes. The Tempo Bookend terrace can also support a studio as long as the terrace sits on a minimum 8m wide block.

When a studio is selected, the garage that supports it will be built as a brick and pier garage as opposed to a lightweight cladding garage, to ensure it can structurally support the studio above. For more information speak to a Crace sales consultant on 1800 751 878.
