PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
The developers of Catarina have produced a special set of Design Guidelines to protect
your investment! This summary gives you an outline of the requirements under the Design Guidelines. The Guidelines are part of a covenant applying to all single residential allotments on the estate to help ensure a commitment to quality and high standards in building design and construction. See www.catarinaliving.com.au to download a full set of the guidelines.
