New developments in the Kosciusko National Park in Thredbo and Perisher generally are constructed during the summer, due to climate considerations and also because of stautory regulation against building in the winter time. It's very difficult to ask Australian builders to work in the snow; their colleagues in the northern hemisphere have to do it all the time! Thus occasionally we are able to offer pre-release of some projects; the advantage to the potential buyer is that there may be room for tailoring the finish of the property under certain circumstances.
Outside the park, in Lake Crackenback and Jindabyne, building work is happening all year round; although it is true that a number of our local trades people are involved in seasonal work such as snow cat slope grooming, ski instructing and the like. Just another example of the lifestyles that some of the local residents choose.
The Snowy Mountains has seen many new developments in Thredbo and Jindabyne, and there have been over 50 new houses constructed at lake Crackenback. And, in Perisher, tenders for the 800 bed development close at the end of October, 2009; there will be some very exciting developments as 2010 and 2011 unfold. |
