Just an update on this.
After getting word they wouldnt deliver the furniture till August 8th. When we would be home.
Sent them few demanding emails so getting our furniture package delivered on 20th July.
Now just still waiting on owner of Depiro Point complex.
That electric and water will be connected.
And that the snag list is complete.
Fingers crossed.

Ensure that your household water and electricity consumption tariffs are designated ‘residential’.

Please note that:

A) The ‘domestic’ electricity consumption tariff is 30% more expensive than the 'residential' one. 

B) The ‘domestic’ water consumption tariff at least 56% more expensive than the 'residential' one. 

C) Unlike the ‘residential’ scheme, eco-reductions are not applied to the ‘domestic’ electricity consumption tariff.

D) Unlike the ‘residential’ scheme, one-off energy allowance cheques are not payable in respect of the ‘domestic’ water and electricity consumption tariff.

In order to convert from ‘domestic’ to ‘residential’ water and electricity consumption tariffs, one must register the correct number of household occupants with ARMS Ltd.
