Building By-Laws

• Noise Complaints

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not create any noise likely to interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of the owner or occupier of another lot. Please keep your noise to a minimum, and respect your neighbour’s right to live in peace.

• Obstruction of Common Property

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not obstruct the lawful use of common property by another person. Please do not leave anything on common property, in particular in the hallways or carpark – these are not your personal storage areas.

• Damage to Common Property

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not damage common property in any way, including updating or changing any features. If you do damage common property even if by accident, please notify building management as soon as possible. Do not carry out renovations or alter any part of the common property, including balconies, without written consent and approval.

• Behaviour of Owners & Occupiers

  An owner or occupier of a lot when on common property must be adequately clothed and must not use language or behave in a manner likely to offend another owner or occupier. Understand that your neighbours may have different beliefs and values, please respect each other.

• Children Playing on Common Property

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not let children play on common property unless they are accompanied by an adult. In particular, please do not let children play in the car parks where they risk being hit by a car.

• Behaviours of Guests & Visitors

  An owner or occupier of a lot must take reasonable steps to ensure their visitors adhere to the building by-laws. Do not let your friends give you a bad name by disturbing your neighbours, particularly following a party.

• Disposing of Rubbish & Other Materials

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not leave rubbish or other items on common property unless it is in a specifically designated area. There are plenty of bins available for your rubbish and recycling. Please ensure you fully dispose of your items.

• Drying of Laundry (Balconies)

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not hang washing or any other items from their balcony or common property that is likely to be visible from outside the building or from another lot. To maintain the value of the building it needs to look neat and tidy.

• Cleaning of Windows & Doors

  An owner or occupier of a lot must keep clean all glass in windows and doors on the boundary of the lot including that which is common property. The Owners Corporation will take care of the outside of inaccessible windows only.

• Storage of Flammable Liquids

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not store flammable liquids on common property or in a lot without prior consent of the Owners Corporation. This is for the safety of all residents.

• Pets

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not keep an animal within a lot without prior consent of the Owners Corporation. Please lodge an application with Building Management.

• Parking

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not park or stand any vehicle on common property without the written approval of the Owners Corporation. Do not park in the visitors parking or you may be subject to a by-law breach.

• Moving Furniture in Common Property

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not transport furniture or any other large items through common property without first notifying building management. Please book any moves or renovations with Building Management; it will be a lot easier with the lift covers up and a lift key.

• Floor Coverings

  An owner of a lot must ensure that all floor space is adequately covered in order to prevent noise transmission through the floor that disturbs the peaceful enjoyment of a lot by another owner or occupier. If you are going to install floor boards or tiles you must first lodge an application with the Owners Corporation so that they can ensure the appropriate sound insulation is used.

• Appearance of the Lot

  An Owner or Occupier of a Lot must not, without the prior written approval of the Owners Corporation, maintain or store anything within the lot which is visible from the outside that detracts from the overall appearance of the building – for example, furniture being stored on balconies or in courtyards.

  An owner or occupier of a lot must not, except with the consent in writing of the Owners Corporation, hang any washing, towel, bedding, clothing or other article on any part of the lot that is visible from outside the building.
