What would you like to know?

Here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you’d like to know anything more, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.

Who is building next to me?

If you need to discuss fencing, for example, you’ll need to know who your neighbours are. Contact the Forest Gardens Sales and Information Centre on 07 4036 1233 and we’ll be happy to help.

What design guidelines do I need to adhere to?

Exceptional presentation and a high standard of housing makes Forest Gardens a great place to live. To ensure that this standard is consistently achieved and maintained, all housing at Forest Gardens is protected by a set of Design Requirements (the Covenant), which are fully managed and administered by Delfin Lend Lease in conjunction with Cairns City Council.

The covenants are not intended to limit choice - if anything a variety of housing and design styles is actively encouraged.

The Covenant provides for:
A variety of designs, styles, colours and materials to be used;
A range of housing innovations;
An attractive living environment being achieved and maintained;
The early establishment of landscaping and buildings.

Our Building Design Approvals and Covenant Administrator can provide assistance if you’re designing a new home. Contact the Forest Gardens Sales and Information Centre on
07 4036 1233 for more information.
