With so much to remember when moving house, we sometimes forget to attend to the most obvious!

 

Use our checklist of important dates, contacts and reminders to help you along the way.

Letterbox

First and foremost, make sure you have a letterbox! Some new homeowners can get caught out with builders not supplying this as part of the house package, so we recommend discussing this with your builder before they finish your home.

Mail redirection

Mail redirection is the best way of ensuring that you don't lose any post in transit. Visit the Australia Post website for instructions on how to redirect your mail to your new address. Be sure to allow AT LEAST three full business days for your application to be processed before the redirection can start.

Redirect with Australia Post

Change of address

When moving house there's a range of people and organisations that you need to notify to update your address details for things like car registration, drivers licence, banks, utilities, workplace, Medicare and the Australian Taxation Office, not to mention your friends and family! The Australian Government's change of address checklist is a handy resource to ensure that nothing is overlooked when you move.

Water

The Water Corp is the sole provider of water in WA. Your settlement agent will advise the Water Corp about your land purchase, so there's no need for you to contact them at the early stages. However, when your home is finished, you will need to contact the Water Corp so your postal address can be updated. NOTE: You may receive water bills even before you have built and/or moved in. Once your property has access to water or wastewater mains, you will be required to pay service charges, even if the land remains vacant. You will also be billed for water that is used onsite during the building process.

Visit the Water Corporation

Electricity

Energy consumers at Honeywood fall into the category of non-contestable customers within the South West Integrated System, which is the electricity distribution network operated by Western Power. This means that householders at Honeywood will not have the option of selecting an electricity provider. All non-contestable customers in WA are supplied by Synergy.
