Certified Seacrest Installers We want to acknowledge good work by installers, so once we visit three consecutive conforming installations by any one electrician we will be recording the individual electrician as an approved Seacrest Technology Installer. We will be issuing that person with a certification certificate and providing no defects are recorded against the individual, these certificates will be renewed annually.

General Explanation

Mitchell & Brown, Geraldton's Electrical & Computer Superstore is working closely with Humfrey Land Developments in bringing together a host of exciting new services to Seacrest Estate.

The installation of Fibre Optic cable to each lot has opened up a new range of optional services to the householder. All lots at Seacrest Estate are connected together in a private Local Area Network, allowing such things as

Music Channel

Whilst some of the services listed above may take time to implement, the developers are committed to providing standard 'Free to air Television Channels'. To take advantage of some of the New Technology, new homes should have 'Smart Wiring' installed by their Electrical Contractor. 'Smart Wiring' allows for the connection of the incoming communications cabling system and distribution of services to any room in the house.

Electrical Contractors should contact Mitchell & Brown for specifications.

Applicable to all new residential lots sold at Seacrest.

To encourage participation and use of the unique Technology Services available at Seacrest, the following technology package is provided at no additional cost.

Upon application and approval, Seacrest Corporation provides you with a $2,500 technology VOUCHER consisting of:

Free to Air Television

As there is a caveat on TV & Radio Antennas and Satellite Dishes, local free to air television, plus SBS will be provided via cable, free of charge. If the customer has not installed a communications panel, the free to air television cable will be connected to a connection point on the house adjacent to the meter box.

Service Difficulties

Seacrest Corporation will endeavour to provide continuity of service 24 hours per day. The Pay TV signal is dependent on local satellite service and the signal may become unstable in adverse weather conditions.

The standard ‘free to air signal’ ABC, GWN and WIN is backed up by terrestrial service and should remain constant whilst the signal is being transmitted locally.
