"Bluestone Green - Wyndham Vale"
ok here is my review
Pros
- Plenty of parks
- Residents and neighbour seems Quite and friendly
- NBN ( internet ) active but only to the latest stages.
- Railway Link is under construction ( can see the works been done across the road ) .
- I had taken me 40-50 mins to get to City Via free way during Morning peak hours .( unless there is some traffic hazard on the freeway )
- Bus stop is right in front of the house , though Buses are 40 mins apart 9 which is fair as there are not many people to catch at a specific time)
- Supermarket , $2 shop , and other basic amenities are pretty close by.
- haven;t had much chance to walk alone at night ( but i guess it's not bad )
- No traffic congestion at all
- School and Cricket Oval near completion ( Every Kid at Bluestone will have a walking distance to the school )
- Very peaceful and quite
Cons
- Still Developing ( taking forever)
- Not every House owner worried about landscaping ( make it looks ugly )
- Closest Shopping centre/cinema is werribee
- Only traffic Congestion you will find is near Werribee Railway crossing
- Seen Some teens Making Do-noughts ( Only on the under developed roads for the new stages )
Now there is another Estate getting developed, just below Back forest road , called Harpley, i guess, The Area will get more school , Community hub and full fledged shopping centre, though this may also lead to congestion on Ballan road roundabout.
OVERALL AN EXCELLENT PLACE FOR FAMILIES , COUPLES AND PROFESSIONALS

Sorry to hear about your Situation , but I guess Glenville Homes should be responsible for this as they are the one who did the Soil Test and provide the Structural Warranty. I hope things will turn out better in coming days and Bluestone should be made aware of the Issue like weeds , parking on the footpath, and rubbish problem.
Thank you newinthetow. I shall contact the council. We have had 3 structural tests, one part of the house, thy don't know how to tackle the problem of the heave, I think it's going to be a problem.
It's a crying shame that a new area is in such a state.
Living in Bluestone , I never ever felt/smelt anything , may be you are too close to it, The Street I live in very Quite and clean and almost everyone on that street respect that. I got NBN Installed at my place as well. There is no traffic congestion in wyndham Vale. But you may find bit of it toward werribee crossing. Medical Cntre is open till 11 pm , which is great . Everyday shopping is just around the corner and they are also building 2 station is wyndham vale ( one in manor lakes and one in close to Ballan road) . Major Shopping centre is just 5 away with heaps of parking. We love this place because of the fact that childcare centre is just around the corner and few school are already under construction. Keep In Mind there is Massive D/f between old and new Wyndham vale. Overall New Wyndham vale is a Great place!!!!!
I agree with roo-gal, parts of the area resemble housing commission, some of the ferals I see in the area remind me of the tv show houso's. You see alot of illegal parking, mums yelling at their kids in the supermarket in that feralsih style they use, then the mother usually lights up a cigarette in the car with the kid. Some parts of the area seem Ok, but some are quite nastyish with that feralish tinge to them, you do get some houses full of young hoons intent on load music and screeching tyres, also there is no police presence whatsoever, and some housing commission tenants unfortunately. Really some of them should have been de-sexed at puberty to avoid polluting the population. P.s in the kinglake drive fawkner rd area loud barking dogs persist. these are my experiences gathered over a year living here and I am going asap.
pugslyadams, We have been in this home now for about 2 months. First Rugby game on Saturday 29th June and rubbish all over the place. The Council have kindly provided 1 maybe 2 rubbish bins. It was a busy day, lots of people and no provision for garbage disposal, hence rubbish has found it's way to not only our house but other homes as well, birds attacked the rubbish bin and eww what a mess! Wyndham Council don't think ahead or practically. Wyndham Council need to clean up and advise homeowners if their homes are looking a disgrace on the outside.
Love our new home here though, we sold our other home in Vaughan Chase, the house problems were getting us down and the rental homes, people moving every other weekend.
Hi are there any public housing near Blustone, i drove to the area and saw houses who have similar structural design which i assume as public housing. Is it safe on the area?
We would be one of those residents who do not have landscaping BECAUSE we have had storm-water drainage problems down the side, our house has heaved because of the reactive soil in the area. We do keep the grass/weeds down though. we can't do anything now until we install an Agi drain, the holes in the storm-water pipes have just been repaired.
Although I do agree, some parts are just awful and starting to look like Housing Commission homes, weeds a mile high, rubbish left on properties or dumped any where. Cars parked across the footpaths or in front yards.
Wish we had never bought land here, been nothing but problems!!! We had to take our builder, Glenvill Homes to Consumer Affairs who contacted the BACV as the builders were not going to do anything, This is a company who build $1,000.000 + homes and donate a home for the RMH raffle. They are now doing something about all the cracks etc in our home.
All in all, this a is windy dusty area. The Sunland Group and Oliver Hume should be responsible for the earlier stages of homes heaving and leaving owners with huge structural problems... this is no enjoyable retirement for us.
