Design Guidelines
The design guidelines we’ve developed for Googong ensure that Googong’s houses have particular details and styles that create an eye-pleasing collective look that helps houses better relate to each other within their street, their neighbourhood and even the town as a whole. We carefully maintain this consistent level of quality to protect the value of your property investment. There are three design guidelines – which one applies to you depends on where your lot is located, as follows:
Display Village and Sales Centre
At Googong, we’ve assembled a panel of leading builders who are committed to bringing our vision for the new township to life. The Googong Builders Guild homes demonstrate how quality design, value and environmentally conscious features can go hand in hand. These builders have a large range of house and land packages for sale, or you can start by choosing a lot and then choose a builder. There’s no obligation to choose a Guild Builder for your new home. However, if you do, you’ll have the assurance that your builder has a thorough understanding of our design guidelines. This will help to speed up approvals and make the process of building your home easier.
However you want to do it, visiting the Googong Sales Centre and the Googong Display Village is a great way to get your journey underway.
