Understanding the Covenant

Oxmar's Covenant is foundational to building vibrant communities

Our building covenant ensures that all homes, improvements, and landscaping within our estates are to a high standard, resulting in both attractive streetscapes and safeguarding the value of your home. Our covenant ‘runs with the land’ and is applicable to all future purchasers of the property and not just the original purchaser. This gives you peace of mind by assuring you that your neighbours’ homes will be of a similar quality to your own home and that the attractive streetscape of your community will continue into the future.

What are the / your responsibilities when living in an Oxmar estate?

Individuals and families living in our estate play a key role in building vibrant communities by adhering to the conditions contained within the covenant.

Our friendly covenant manager is always available to talk about what may or may not be possible.

The standout features of Oxmar covenants include:

A minimum home size, which encourages high values within the estate.
Prior to commencing work (and buying materials) for any proposed exterior work, please submit an application to [email protected] for approval. Ensure you have received a written approval response prior to commencing work.
Ensure you provide a copy of your building covenants to all contractors working on your home or land such as your builder, fencing contractor, pool contractor, landscaper, etc. Also to any sales agents to ensure the covenant is passed on to subsequent buyers should you wish to sell down the track.

Front turf and driveway must be completed prior to moving in. Landscaping front gardens ensures a high-quality streetscape.
Residents seek approval for any built structures planned for their front yard including retaining walls and garden edging, etc.
Exterior home colours are to be drawn from earth tones. This avoids the possibility of an out-of-character house in the street.
Some of our estates require the front facade, or the whole of the home, to be comprised of a rendered finish. Small features of cladding, timber, feature brick, or stone can be used to add your signature to the designs.
You are welcome to build a garden shed; however, there are limitations on larger sheds.
We require that fencing, whether colorbond, timber, or rendered block, be of a high standard to ensure that it complements the home.
To ensure an attractive streetscape, wheelie bins are brought promptly in on the day of collection and placed behind the fence out of sight, and front lawns and gardens are regularly maintained.
