mwjw Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Due to our regional visa, (as all us 489 holders know) we have to live in certain post code areas, we moved to Meadow Springs which we thought was ok, but the agent has the property with a post code for an area we cant live in?!!! I have checked on realestate and homehound and we should be ok, but official docs from the Agent show otherwise? Will this now effect our PR application as the post code mess up will break our visa conditions...worried big time Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Speak to the agent, point out their mistake and explain to them the importance of the document being correct. I'm sure they will help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go to Perth on a regional visa! Meadow Springs is beautiful but it's not in Perth, it's in Mandurah. Mandurah is about 70k's south of Perth, 50 mins on the train or around 40 mins by car with a clear run (which is pretty rare) We have friends in Meadow Springs who had to live regional, they told us as of next year it will not be classed as regional so maybe check that out. I have nothing to back this up with, it's just what they told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadow Springs is part of Mandurah and so does I believe qualify as regional. It is about a 10 minute car ride to the train station and then 50 minutes on the train to Perth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Meadow Springs postcode is 6210 .. Do check the property that's listed is actually in that area, it may be that it's on a boundary and falls into a different postcode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your agent told you that you can live in Canningvale, then if I was you I would be looking for a more knowledgeable agent. It could be a very costly mistake!
