Date TBC

Cars need to be removed from the 3 basement levels by 8am to allow the contractor to clean sweep as much of the basement as possible.

This is a dry sweep of the basement floor, not a wash.

Almost got it in before Christmas but that would not have allowed enough notice for everyone (or as many as possible) to make arrangements to move their cars out while the cleaning is done.

With the return to work of many businesses this week, the booking has now been made (Thanks Nick).

Mark your calendar and plan where you will park your car.

PARKING IDEAS

DRESS CODE: Aussie Casual – think thongs, hats, green & gold!

Look out for the email from the Body Corporate Manager issued TBC23 February 2027.

A Nomination Form and Owners Motion form are attached to the email.

NOMINATIONS

Ensure that your levies are up to date to be eligible to nominate. If nominating someone be sure they qualify under one of the categories of Status of Candidate.

MOTIONS

If you have a motion you want the General Meeting to consider it needs to be valid, including sufficient detail and clearly describe what is to be implemented, its cost and can include an Explanatory Note.

To avoid a poorly drafted motion being ruled out of order, follow the guidelines and don't be afraid to seek assistance in preparing your submission.

See https://www.qld.gov.au/law/housing-and-neighbours/body-corporate/committees-meetings/general-meetings/drafting-motions

• Concise—are you clearly and concisely explaining what should happen so the body corporate can adopt the proposal without any further decisions?

• Legal—does the proposal have to meet any special requirements under the body corporate legislation or any other legislation (e.g., building regulations)?

• Economic—can any action required by the motion be paid for? Are there funds in the budget or will a special levy have to be raised? Instead of submitting just 1 motion, should 2 quotes be submitted under a group of same-issue motions?

• Action-based—is there a clear action to be taken? Is a time frame set?

• Realistic—can the proposed action be achieved? Is it something that other owners are likely to support?

See https://www.qld.gov.au/law/housing-and-neighbours/body-corporate/committees-meetings/general-meetings/submitting-motions:

Motion requirements

A motion must:

• be in writing

• include any necessary quotes and other documents

• be clear

• be enforceable

An owner’s motion must be put on the voting paper without any change to the wording.

Even if the motion is unlawful, unenforceable or would, if passed, conflict with the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997, the committee cannot refuse the owner’s motion. However, the chairperson may rule it 'out of order' at the general meeting.

Read more about ruling motions out of order.

PLAN NOW for clearing your balcony and to seek assistance to clear your balcony if necessary.

• External repairs now scheduled for TBC 2027 - abseilers will be working on the southern side to do some window repair work.

• Building Pressure Wash followed by Window Wash now scheduled to commence TBC April 2027 for around 2-3 weeks.

Note: This is a pressure wash, not a window squeegee wash.

Close curtains and blinds for privacy while the abseilers are working.

For best results, clear items including personal belongings from your balcony.

They will be pressure washing within the balcony including windows and door frames.

It is the resident's responsibility to ensure that windows and doors are fully closed and sealed to reduce the risk of water entry while cleaning is in progress. Consider placing an old towel on the inside for a bit of extra protection.

CHECK the lift notices for updated advice on dates or other updates as the date gets closer.

CHECK the web site https://chevronallure.org.au/ in the What’s on at Allure section for updates.

A full building water pressure clean is to be scheduled for Allure in April, weather permitting.

It will take a number of weeks to complete.

Once dates are confirmed they will be published in the lifts and on the web site, but will still be subject to weather causing delays.

The contractor has advised:

To provide you with the best finish, residents will need (or are strongly encouraged) to remove all items from their balconies.

We can work around bulky bits of furniture or plants; however, generally, the finish is not the same standard as a clear balcony, particularly the floor.

The clean will remove any surface mould, dirt and grime, leaving the building clean, maintaining paint warranties and increasing the longevity of the paintwork.

We want to rinse off as much of the salt and dirt from windows and door frames as possible during the washdown. We use dual pressure guns and lighter pressure on the windows and doors to limit potential water leaks.

There may be a few areas on the building where damaged paint and other defects exist. To ensure we cause no further damage, we will use moderate pressure as per paint manufacturers guidelines. If in our opinion, an area is too damaged to clean, we will work around it.

The team will plan the job according to the wind forecast, so dirty water from the cleaning process isn't blown onto any windows they have already cleaned.

The final result will be affected by the condition of the paint and previous maintenance history. Pressure cleaning does not remove staining from coatings. No allowance has been made to use chemicals, degreasers, or other cleaning products for any part of the project.

It is the resident’s responsibility to ensure all windows & doors are closed and all personal belongs are taken inside while works are in progress. No allowance is included for taping/sealing of window & door frames. The quote is based on seals being intact.

(Last window wash April 2026)

April 25th 4pm

Join your neighbours on the rooftop for a relaxed afternoon of good food, quiet reflection, and good company as we come together to commemorate ANZAC Day at Allure.

WHERE: Allure Rooftop

WHEN: Sunday 25 April 2027@ 4:00pm

BRING: A plate to share + your favourite drinks (BBQ available for cooking)

DRESS CODE: Casual & respectful – feel free to wear a touch of red, white, or khaki if you wish.

Lest we forget — and what better way to honour the spirit of ANZAC than by coming together as a community.

The Body Corporate is responsible for managing the shared areas, facilities, finances, and governance of Allure on behalf of all owners. While work often happens quietly in the background, transparency and good communication are central to how we operate.

Committee meetings are held regularly to deal with operational matters, projects, and resident concerns.

Meeting agendas are published in advance, so committee members can review items properly and meetings remain focused and productive.

Owners and their representatives are welcome to attend committee meetings as observers by providing at least 24 hours advance notice to the Secretary in writing.

The notice needs to include:

• their residential or business address

• the name of the lot owner they are representing

• evidence the owner has asked them to represent them at the meeting, unless their name is already on the body corporate roll

• whether they are

  • a member of the owner’s family

  • acting under the power of attorney of the owner

  • director, secretary or other nominee of a company that owns the lot.

Following each meeting, minutes are prepared and published promptly. 

These minutes record decisions made by the Committee and provide visibility for owners into what has been discussed and approved.

The Body Corporate Manager distributes the minutes to all Lot Owners and they are also available on the body corporate manager's owners portal.

To ensure consistency and accountability, key Committee decisions are recorded in a Decisions Register. 

This helps avoid repeated debates, provides a clear reference point, and supports smooth transitions between committees over time.

The Committee maintains a Work in Progress (WIP) Register to track maintenance items, projects, and ongoing matters. 

This ensures nothing is forgotten and allows issues to be monitored from identification through to completion.

All formal correspondence received by the Committee is logged so inquiries, requests, and issues are properly tracked and responded to.

This helps ensure fairness, consistency, and transparency in how matters are handled.

Completed correspondence matters are provided to the Body Corporate Manager to be maintained with the official records.

Fact Sheets and Topic documentation are being developed, so that future committee members are quickly able to identify how something works

e.g. How the Generator works

How did we repair that concrete leak

Together with the Decisions Register, this spreads the knowledge-base and will help save having to reinvent the wheel and taking up precious time - every time something reoccurs.

Whilst the Caretaker runs to his own schedule, the Body Corporate interacts very closely

The committee nominates a liaison person to help streamline communication in both directions

Over the past year, the Body Corporate has delivered a range of improvements across the building, including:

• Building upgrades and preventative maintenance

• Safety, security, and compliance initiatives

• Improved communication and governance processes

• Pool Heating Installation

• Community events and engagement activities

Some of the larger matters currently being worked on include:

• FY27 Budget preparation

• Review of Strata Management arrangements

• Long-term maintenance planning

• Governance and by-law improvements

These projects help ensure Allure remains well-managed, financially sustainable, and a great place to live.

https://chevronallure.org.au/#kat-U0LdWhc773g8Bg5V

Residents and owners are welcome to contact the Committee for:

·         Suggestions

·         Complaints or concerns

·         Compliments or positive feedback

To keep communication clear and manageable, correspondence should be sent to the Secretary via email to

secretary@chevronallure.org.au

The Secretary acts as the central point of contact and will direct matters appropriately (e.g. to the Building Manager, Strata Manager, or Committee).

Allure Chevron Island CTS 55797 is a Community Titles Scheme under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (the BCCM Act). 

Allure is regulated under the ACCOMMODATION MODULE Body Corporate and Community Management (Accommodation Module) Regulation 2020

The Survey Plan for Allure is BUILDING FORMAT.

Allure’s Community Management Statement (CMS) was first registered with Titles Queensland on 24 April 2023.

Changes are made to the CMS through Lot Owners voting on motions at General Meetings. 

These changes are incorporated into the CMS and a new version is registered with Titles Queensland.  The changes become effective on the date the CMS is registered.

The Body Corporate Manager distributes a copy of the updated registered CMS to all Lot Owners.  It is also accessible on the Body Corporate Manager portal.

Tenants can request a copy from their letting agent or landlord.

The latest version of the CMS was registered on 5 November 2025 (Reference 724468272).

The Body Corporate also has to work within and comply with Development Approval Conditions.

These are in perpetuity conditions - that include items such as:

• Flood Emergency Management Plan

• Off-street parking for cars and bicycles including visitors

• Recreation area activities limited between 7am and 10pm

A practical example of how this impacts Allure is that we are required to have a certain number of visitor car & bike spaces available at any time - so it would not be possible to simply repurpose a visitors car park as a car wash bay.

The Committee Code of Conduct is designed to promote respectful communication, professionalism, and good governance.

These principles help ensure decisions are made fairly, discussions remain constructive, and everyone involved feels respected.

Yes — absolutely!

 The Committee is made up of volunteer owners who are appointed each year at the Annual General Meeting.  The more residents who are willing to get involved, the stronger and more balanced the decision-making process becomes.

 If you’re interested in contributing your time, skills, or perspective, nominations can be submitted ahead of each AGM.

You may attend committee meetings as an observer to see how everything is operated.

The Committee encourages questions, comments and suggestions through the secretary, who will promptly direct it for action.

Sunday to Thursday 6am to 10pm

Friday & Saturday 6am to 11pm

Maintain considerate noise levels and courteous behaviour at all times.

Pool and rooftop may need to be closed for safety reasons in the event of high winds.

Children are welcome in our recreation areas but PLEASE ensure a responsible adult is actively supervising children under 13 as required by the by-laws.

Ensure the pool rules are followed at all times - no jumping running or diving and keep noise to a minimum.

Children will be children, but parents need to be parents,

Supervise and ensure the safety of children in your care on Common Property.

Suitable lounge furniture has been provided for use on the lower-level terraces.

The SPA is normally heated to around 33 to 35 degrees Celsius

The rooftop pool heater was installed on 5 January 2026 and is now operational.

The target temperature is 26–28°C, taking the shock out of those first steps in

and extending the swimming season by a few extra months

(it’s not intended to heat the pool through winter)

Allure Gym Opening Hours

Sunday to Thursday – 6am to 10pm

Friday & Saturday – 6am to 11pm

A trial of 24 hour access to the gym is underway.

To help ensure the success of the 24-hour access trial — and to be respectful of our neighbours — we ask all residents to follow a few simple guidelines when using the gym after 11:00pm or before 6:00am:·        

• Please do not use the gym air-conditioning

• Keep the gym door closed at all times

• No music unless using headphones or earbuds

We’ve received noise complaints in the past, including from neighbouring buildings, and maintaining a quiet environment during these hours is essential.

The continuation of 24-hour access depends on no further noise complaints, so we really appreciate the cooperation of late-night and early-morning gym users.

Thank you for helping make this trial a success for everyone.

Children are welcome in our recreation areas but PLEASE ensure a responsible adult is actively supervising children under 13 as required by the by-laws.

Ensure the gym rules and code of conduct are followed at all times and keep noise to a minimum.

Thank you for your cooperation in making the Allure Gym a great place to work out

External personal trainers are not permitted

The gym and gym equipment cannot be booked for private sessions

This helps ensure fair access and keeps the gym available for everyone to enjoy.

Absolutely! There’s plenty of gym experience among fellow residents, and many are more than happy to offer a tip, explain how equipment works, or point you in the right direction.

Just ask — we’re a friendly bunch.

Accidents can happen — that’s okay.

If you notice any damage, faulty equipment, or something that doesn’t look quite right, please let the Caretaker (Building Manager) know as soon as possible so it can be checked and addressed promptly.

Our garbage chutes work hard, but they have their limits!

One oversized or tangled item can quickly cause a blockage — and suddenly our 94 apartments are affected (not ideal for anyone!!).

General rubbish: Small bags only please - No loose rubbish

Recyclables: can go down one at a time - no bags

Before sending something on its way, please:

• Break it into smaller pieces, or take it down to the large collection bins near the visitor car park

• Cardboard boxes and larger items are often the main offenders Break up and flatten larger boxes so they can’t unfold on the way down

• Even better - take anything large to the collection bins near the visitor car park.

• If in doubt, take it down to the large

Thanks for helping keep the chute flowing smoothly!

We are delighted to support the charity Ten Cent Tom

https://www.10centtom.com.au/my-10cent-tom-story

This initiative supports people with a disability.

Any container accepted for 'Containers for Change' can be placed in the blue bins located on the Rooftop and each of the basements, near the lifts.

https://www.containersforchange.com.au/qld/

Weekly collections on Friday.

In Queensland, most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard beverage containers between 150ml and 3L are eligible.

Eligible containers must:

• Be included on the scheme’s list of products. Use the eligibility checker below to ensure your containers are eligible.

• Display the refund mark* (e.g. “10c refund at collection depots/points in participating State/Territory of purchase”)

• *Manufacturers of wine and spirits in Queensland have until January 2027 to stamp their labels with the 10-cent refund symbol. Eligible glass wine and spirit bottles may be returned for a refund without the 10-cent mark during this grace period.

Gold Coast City Council Waste is collected

• Monday

• Wednesday

• Thursday

• Saturday

Yellow Recycling

• Monday

• Thursday

• Saturday

If the bins are already full, please do not over-fill

10 Cent Tom (Containers for Change) are emptied on Friday

It's a great idea to FREEZE some of your waste, like prawn shells - particularly in hot weather

Take it to the large to the collection bins near the visitor car park before collection days

The bins in the basements are designed for small bits of general litter, not full household rubbish.

For everyday household waste, please:

• use the garbage chute on your level, or

• take it directly to the large collection bins.

This helps keep our basement areas clean, fresh, and far more pleasant for everyone (especially on hot days!).

Take large items to the downstairs bins (car-park entry)

Break up any large packing boxes.

Remove all Polystyrene as is NOT recyclable.

Make sure Polystyrene goes in the black rubbish bins - NOT the yellow bins

Access to all floors, apartments, and rooftop, is via the building entrance door (facing Dalpura Street)

When contacting the ambulance, paramedics have two options for accessing the building. It is crucial that you provide instructions based on your medical emergency and any assistance available in your apartment.

Paramedics can gain access in two ways:

Option 1: Contact resident / apartment directly via the external

intercom:

1. dial apartment number and hash (for example 1234#);

2. the external intercom will ring the apartments internal intercom;

3. Residents use the internal intercom to:

• View and talk with paramedics;

• unlock the entrance door to the foyer;

• give lift permissions to ‘their’ floor only.

Option 2: Paramedic to contact holders of Allure Master Key:

1. Allure Building Manager

2. Body Corporate Committee contacts

3. QFES Surfers Paradise Station

YES

It is located on the ground floor near the building manager's area right beside the lifts.

Lot Owners provide information to the Strata Manager for body corporate mailings and also should notify the body corporate manager of details of their tenants.

In addition, for emergencies, it is essential that all residents are able to be contacted. The Flood Emergency Management Plan (FEMP) requires the Caretaker / Building Manager to maintain up to date contact details of all residents.

During an emergency, the Caretaker, and/or appointed Flood Wardens assisting the Caretaker, will need contact details to alert all occupants to the likelihood of flooding and to update on escalation of flood warnings and the status of surrounding road closures, if any.

In the event of an emergency, SMS to mobile phones may be used for communication to occupants.

If you are at Allure for a short break, you can provide the Caretaker with your details using the form below, nominating your arrival and departure date.

EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY AREA

In the event of an evacuation, meet at the Assembly Area on Burra Street at the corner of Illawong Street, towards Thomas Drive.

Take your keys and your phone.

EVACUATING VIA THE STAIRWELL

If you are likely to have difficulty evacuating via the stairwell in an emergency, please provide the Caretaker / Building Manager with your details so that emergency services will know that you require assistance.

In an emergency, if you are able to go to the Exit stairwell, wait in the stairwell until assistance arrives.

Once you enter the fire isolated stairwell, you may not be able to return and therefore you must go all the way to the bottom to exit.

The importance of leaving your details with the building manager and in the fire and evacuation plan cannot be understated.

Persons with special needs

If there is an incident in your unit - move to the fire isolated stairwell and wait,

if there is an incident in your foyer or in the building,

it may be best to stay in your unit.

Once you enter the fire isolated stairwell, you may not be able to return and therefore you must go all the way to the bottom to exit.

The importance of leaving your details with the Caretaker / Building Manager and in the fire and evacuation plan cannot be understated.

Use the form below to submit your details.

In the event of a building evacuation - take your phone and your keys.

It's also a good idea to have good footwear.

If you (or someone in your apartment) would find it difficult to evacuate via the stairwells in an emergency, you may want to be added to our Mobility Register.

In the event of an emergency evacuation, the fire brigade have access to the register to determine who may need assistance to evacuate. 

If you have difficulty evacuating via the stairwell, please request the Building Manager to add you to the list so you can receive assistance in an emergency rather than struggling down the fire stairs.

In the event of an emergency, if you have registered on the Mobility Register please WAIT IN YOUR APARTMENT if it is safe to do so and keep your keys and phone with you.

The Fire Brigade may contact you from the Control Room to check on your location and status, and may provide you with specific instructions depending on the situation

If it is not safe in your apartment move out into the foyer on your level and wait.

If it is not safe in the foyer due to smoke or heat or flames, move into the stairwell and wait on your level.

Persons with special needs

If there is an incident in your unit - move to the fire isolated stairwell and wait,

if there is an incident in your foyer or in the building,

it may be best to stay in your unit.

Once you enter the fire isolated stairwell, you may not be able to return and therefore you must go all the way to the bottom to exit.

The importance of leaving your details with the Caretaker / Building Manager and in the fire and evacuation plan cannot be understated.

Use the form below to submit your details.

Allure Chevron Island's fire evacuation plan is on every floor and located on the left side of the lifts. Also on the roof and in the gym and the ground floor foyer.

In the event of an evacuation, meet at the Assembly Area on Burra Street at the corner of Illawong Street, towards Thomas Drive.

Take your apartment keys and your phone with you.

PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF FAMILIAR WITH THE FIRE EVACUATION PROCESS

Smoke Alarms in the common areas are connected to the Fire Alarm systems and will initiate a call to Queensland Fire Department (QFD) automatically. The Fire Brigade will be despatched to the building to attend to the fire.

If the call to QFD is a false alarm, Allure is invoiced at the current rate. The fees are reviewed annually.

Effective 1 July 2025 the fee is $1505.60 per alarm.

Other activities may also trigger an automatic call to QFD. For example, using the fire hoses would trigger an automatic call because this impacts the fire fighting capability of the building.

Smoke Detectors inside the apartments do not initiate a call to QFD. They are designed to alert the occupants of that apartment to smoke hazard that may indicate a fire. Call 000 if the fire brigade is needed for a fire in your apartment.

FIRE IN YOUR APARTMENT that you are unable to control

CALL 000 IMMEDIATELY.

Then break the glass in the “Evacuate” white box to activate the fire alarm system. This will notify everyone in the building there is a fire.

Just breaking the glass

DOES NOT call Queensland Fire Department (QFD).

It is essential you call 000 if the fire brigade is required.

SMOKE IN YOUR APARTMENT

Smoke detectors in each apartment DO NOT activate the fire alarm system or call QFD

If a smoke alarm is triggered inside an apartment, for example from cooking, ONLY open apartment windows and glass doors to disperse the smoke.

DO NOT open apartment front doors into the hallway, as this could activate common area smoke alarms and call QFS automatically.

COMMON AREA ALARMS

Triggers to all common area smoke alarms and water sprinklers, or use of any fire hose will activate the buildings fire alarm system AND call QFS automatically. Accidental triggers could be at the cost of owners or residents.

For fire in the common areas, break the glass in the “Evacuate” white box to activate the fire alarm system. This will notify everyone in the building there is a fire.

Just breaking the glass DOES NOT call Queensland Fire Department(QFD).

It is essential you call 000 if the fire brigade is required.

COMMON AREA ALARMS

Triggers to all common area smoke alarms and water sprinklers, or use of any fire hose will activate the buildings fire alarm system AND call QFD automatically. Accidental triggers could be at the cost of owners or residents.

LOCATE YOUR FIRE EVACUATION PLAN

Allure Chevron Island fire evacuation plan is on every floor and located on the left side of the lifts.

In the event of an evacuation, meet at the Assembly Area on Burra Street at the corner of Illawong Street, towards Thomas Drive.

Take your apartment keys and your phone with you.

PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF FAMILIAR WITH THE FIRE EVACUATION PROCESS

The Flood Emergency Management Plan (FEMP) is included in the CMS. It provides information about flood risk relevant to Allure Chevron Island and procedures in the event of a Flood Emergency.

Allure Chevron Island has a stand-by generator that can power the building for a number of days and longer with a diesel refill. In the event of a power outage, the generator will activate to provide 'essential power' to all apartments and the common areas, including one lift in operation. The safest place in the event of a Flood Emergency may be to remain at Allure Chevron Island with a well-stocked fridge with essential medications on hand.

Essential power will allow you to keep your fridge running, use your microwave oven and Living Room TV and operate some lighting and power points. Dishwashers, ovens, washing machines and dryers will not have power while on generator.

If you have nominated to evacuate rather than stay on premises, leave early and notify the Caretaker you have left the premises, otherwise remain on site until notified it is safe to leave.

Ensure the Caretaker has your contact details.

Residents should ensure they have at least 3 days supply of food and drinking water on hand.

It is recommended that 7 days supply of prescription medicine be kept on hand.

You will have essential power to your apartment and one lift will be operating on generator power.

Follow instructions from the Caretaker and Flood Wardens throughout the event. Be familiar with the Flood Emergency Management Plan (FEMP) included in the CMS.

In an extreme weather event it may not be possible to leave Chevron Island due to road closures and obstructions.

If you prefer not to stay on site in a flood emergency, notify the Caretaker that you want to evacuate early or if you will require assistance.

Some residents have opted to change their apartment locks, deviating from the Master Key system.

In the event of a medical emergency, the sole recourse available would be for the Fire Brigade or other Emergency Services to forcibly enter by forcing the lock.

Gold Coast City Council has a Disaster Dashboard

Receiving a delivery of a fridge, washing machine, bed, bulky item of furniture?

Prior arrangements must be made with the Caretaker for delivery of bulky goods. The Caretaker will determine if lift protection is needed.

Deliveries must be made through the basement, so your delivery needs to come in a small van or utility vehicle to be able to meet the basement height restrictions.

Delivery vehicles must not block the garbage bin area on the ground floor or access to parking.

You are responsible for any damage caused while moving goods through Common Property areas including the lift. You should ensure your deliverer has appropriate insurance.

See By-law 71 - Bulky Items and Use of Common Property

The Caretaker does not provide a Concierge Service to receive deliveries on your behalf.

The Caretaker and the Body Corporate take no responsibility for goods left unattended in the foyer.

For secure delivery of parcels (and mail) you may wish to apply for an Australia Post post office box. Australia Post Bundall Parcel depot in Crombie Avenue is easy to access by car and a pleasant walk.

Australia Post offers a free Parcel Collect address. When a delivery is received, Australia Post sends you a notification that there is an item to collect.

When you unlock the front door for a visitor, they also gain access to your level in the lift.

Grocery/Food Delivery Drivers are not to be given unsupervised access to floors. 

Meet them at the front door rather than unlocking it from the intercom if you can. 

If you need the delivery to be brought to your apartment please monitor their departure to the lift on your floor and monitor their exit through the ground floor foyer from your intercom panel to ensure they leave the building immediately they reach the foyer.

To help preserve the appearance and integrity of our complex, we kindly remind you that any signage related to property listings must be approved by the Building Manager prior to installation. Please note that only “For Sale” signs are permitted —leasing signs are not allowed under our current by-laws and Letting Agreement.

We also have specific guidelines regarding the placement and style of signage (e.g.: Gold Coast City Council only permits signs with 80% content relating to the specific apartment in the building and 20% to your agency), which the Caretaker will outline upon request. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in adhering to these requirements.

The security of our building must be maintained.

Access through common property for apartment viewing must be closely supervised.

Please ensure any prospective owners/tenants are made aware of and provided with a copy of the complex’s Community Management Scheme (CMS) By-Laws (A requirement in accordance with Section 31 of the By-Laws), which include our expectations surrounding:

• Noise restrictions and Behaviour expectations (of owners, tenants and invitees)

• Use of common areas (e.g., Gym, Club Room, Roof Top, Pool and BBQ areas) – for the use of only owners, tenants and their bona fide invitees. The Building Manager takes bookings for the use of the Roof Top BBQ area and Club Room facilities, so residents can plan personal events.  There are By-Laws and displayed signage that must be followed when using these common areas e.g. pool and spa – no alcohol, glass containers or food in the pool/spa area.

• Smoking Policy - No smoking (including e-cigarettes and vapes) is permitted in any common area or causing nuisance from balconies.

• Pet Ownership Rules - A pet application must be submitted prior to the animal being brought on site.  The pet must be registered with the Gold Coast City Council and have up to date vaccination certificates available.  LINK to form here: Pet Application - Smarter Service Hub.

• Window Treatments, Screens, External Blinds or Awnings – Must obtain Body Corporate Approval before installation of anything of this type is considered (if at all).  LINK to form here: General Improvement Application

An allocation of keys, access fobs and remotes for our security gate is set for each apartment type and must be arranged by the owners with the Caretaker direct.

Lost or stolen keys, fobs and remotes should immediately be reported to the Caretaker. 

New/Lost or Replacement Security issued access tools are available for purchase from the Caretaker by owners only.

Moving in and out of an apartment complex can be difficult to arrange but we have the following set of rules any prospective new owner or tenant must adhere to:

• Moves are strictly only permitted to be undertaken weekdays (Monday to Friday) between 9am and 4pm.  Moves are never allowed on weekend or gazetted Public Holidays, without Body Corporate approval.

• A written request to the Building Manager at least 3 days before the move date is mandatory.  This enables the Building Manager to book the lift, arrange for the lift protection curtains to be installed.

• Once approved payment of a $100 Management Fee (Preparing Lift and providing instructions) and a refundable Damage Bond of $500 is required to be made to the Building Manager (A Joint inspection of the lift and surrounds will be made with the Building Manager before and after the move to confirm if damage is evident).  Damage Bond will be refunded same day if no damage is evident.  If damage is evident, the value of the damage will determine if and when the bond is refunded.

• All items to be moved in, MUST go through the lifts in the Basement Car park.  Under NO circumstances is moving items in via the foyer, or fire stairs permitted.  This includes all bulky items such as fridges, lounges, beds, etc.

• Removal Trucks will need to park on Dalpura Street.  Parking in the driveway impedes incoming and outgoing traffic. The height under the building is limited to 2.1 meters. Access to the garbage bins must not be blocked.

• The removalist may need to arrange a shuttle vehicle / ute to access the basement car park and lift.

• All large amounts of packing from moving must be moved off-site by the residents and NOT left in foyers or deposited in our recycle bins.

• The corridor must be vacuum-cleaned after moving in/out.

• One lift is to remain available for use by other residents during moves.

Items delivered must be able to be accommodated within the lift.

Doorway Opening Measurement: 995mmW x 2100mmH

Internal Lift Measurements: 1900mmL x 1300mmW x 2300mmH

For emergencies, it is essential that all residents are able to be contacted. The Flood Emergency Management Plan (FEMP) requires the Caretaker / Building Manager to maintain up to date contact details of all residents.

During an emergency, the Caretaker, and/or appointed Flood Wardens assisting the Caretaker, will need contact details to alert all occupants to the likelihood of flooding and to update on escalation of flood warnings and the status of surrounding road closures, if any.

In the event of an emergency, SMS to mobile phones may be used for communication to occupants.

All residents must provide emergency contact details to the Caretaker so that they can be contacted by SMS in the event of an emergency.

If residents prefer to evacuate rather than stay in an emergency, they should notify the Caretaker.

If residents are likely to require assistance in an evacuation, they should notify the Caretaker so that they are included on the list for emergency services personnel to provide assistance.

All residents must be familiar with the Flood Emergency Management Plan (FEMP) included in the CMS.

Contact details for emergency purposes can be submitted to the Caretaker on the form in the Emergency Information Section.
