Resident Information

• INTRODUCTION

  Welcome to SY21.

  SY21 is home to those who live there. For some this means a long-term commitment to owning and living in a valuable asset, to others it is a short-term place of residence. It is your responsibility to respect the rights of your neighbours.

  This information has been compiled by the Owners Corporation of SY21 to help you enjoy the experience of living at this property, while at the same time assisting in avoiding unnecessary problems, costs or inconvenience to yourself or others.
  You will note that the Rules of the Owners Corporation were established prior to settlement. These Rules have been passed as required by Law and are legally binding on all residents.

  Please take the time to read the details within this information which will assist in maintaining a harmonious living environment for everyone at SY21.

  Please note: The Vendor should have provided you with an Owner's Manual. The Owner's Manual provided by the Vendor should be read in conjunction with this information provided by MICM. One booklet does not replace the other.

Your removalist may wish to provide a trolley or a utility vehicle to shuttle your furniture from the entry point of the car park, to the closest entry to your apartment.
  • Please speak with the Building Manager with regard to loading/unloading areas.
  • Your apartment could contain natural timber flooring. This flooring is laid as a floating floor for acoustic reasons. Any furniture being placed on it should be in a coaster to avoid dents. When moving your goods onto a timber floor, padding or underlay of 10mm to 15mm (reasonably thick) should be laid on the floor. Insist that your removalist carry the items not drag across the floor. If trolleys are being used, the trolleys should have broad well pumped rubber tyres (no metal). It is preferred that runners are used as footwear.
    Your tiled floor in your kitchen and living areas has a 'flexible' underlay for the purpose of acoustic treatment to the apartment below. Hence, when heavy loads are placed on or moved over tiled floors, there is the potential for damage to the tiles and grout joints due to this flexibility.

• BUILDING FACILITIES ACCESS TO BUILDING

  Each building has its own entry. There are walkways throughout the building which can get you from one side of the building to the other i.e. from River Street, to Chapel Street etc.

   

• SECURITY OF RESIDENTS

  Maintaining security is the shared responsibility of all residents of SY21. It is therefore essential that extra care be taken when entering or exiting the building, ensuring that no one unknown to you is permitted to enter at the same time to gain unauthorised access.

  • External entry/exit doors MUST NOT be propped open and you should ensure they close securely behind you each time.
  • Residents can access the building using their proximity card.
  • "Visitors are required to contact a resident via the video intercom. The intercom is located in the Main Entry Lobby to each block of apartments. The control provided by the intercom in each apartment permits access via the passenger lift or stairs to the floor of the respective resident only. The resident presses a release button (grey with a symbol of a key near handset) on the video/intercom in their apartment, which provides the visitor access. The lift will allow access to the respective floor only.
  • The key to your apartment is on a restricted system and will open your apartment door and the fire door on your level only.
  • For additional keys to your apartment please fill in the "Additional Apartment Key" Order Form, note that only Owners and Property Managers are authorised to order new keys/swipes.
    PDF order forms for apartment keys and swipes are available under “OC forms” under "INFORMATION" on this website. Keys ordered directly from Omega Corporate Security will be sent via Registered Post to the person named on the form.
• CAR PARKING BENEATH THE BUILDING
  • Private car parking is provided in the basement of the building.
  • We request that you park only in your allocated parking space and that you do not use another car space without the permission of the respective Owner/Lessor.
  • The maximum allowable height of vehicles entering the car park is 2.0m. Vehicles over this height are prohibited from entering the car park as they may cause damage to overhead duct and pipe work. Should this occur, it is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to pay for any damage, which may be incurred. If it is a visitor or contractor to a particular apartment, the liability will rest with the apartment owner.
  • In certain areas of the car park, overhead ductwork and pipe work is below 2.0m and these areas have been highlighted with reflective hazard tape.
  • There are visitor car parks located immediately inside the entrances to the car park. Permanent Visitor parking is not permitted. The visitor car park areas (located at Chapel Street and Malcom Street entrances) are serviced by Anytime Car Park Management and fees apply.
    As there are pedestrians always walking around the car park, safety must be adhered to at all times. Please be aware of the following:
  • The speed limit is 5 km/h;
  • Please be aware of pedestrians around lift lobby areas and car park ramps;
  • Watch for pedestrians when entering/existing car park;
  • Observe directional traffic flow arrows;
  • Put on your head lights when in the car park so you are easier to see;
  • Always use your proximity card when entering or exiting the car park. Only one vehicle is permitted to enter or exit the building per swipe of the proximity card. If you fail to swipe, the garage door could end up on the bonnet or roof of your vehicle.
  • A Resident must not use a car parking space for any other purpose without the prior written consent of the Owners Corporation.
  • Cars should always be locked when left in the car park and valuables not left in unattended vehicles.
• GARAGE DOOR

  • The opening/closing mechanism of the garage door is controlled by your proximity card via a mounted proximity reader or by remote control from Owners Corporation issued devices (fees apply).

  • Under certain circumstances it will be necessary for the garage door to remain open eg when maintenance is being carried out, or when residents are moving in or vacating.
  • For the safety of you and your vehicle, do not follow other vehicles entering or exiting. You must swipe your proximity card independently.
  • For security purposes, do not leave your proximity card in your vehicle.
  • It is not an acceptable practice to place a vehicle or item in the path of the door sensor to prevent it from closing. This practice will result in the malfunctioning of the system.

  Residents must refrain from tampering with the garage door control box. When problems occur advise the Building Manager on +61 (0) 400 010 905 of the fault immediately.

• STORAGE CAGES/BOXES

  • To ensure the ventilation of the car park operates efficiently, storage cages are not to be installed without the prior written approval of the Owners Corporation.
    Storage cages are not security cages. Basement parking is a restricted area, maintained by restricted access. Occupiers are responsible for their own property within these areas. Items stored in storage cages should be stored off the floor, preventing damage from water ingress.

• MAIL DELIVERIES
  Each apartment has a mailbox that is clearly labelled with the apartment number. The mailboxes are individually keyed. The Owners Corporation Manager does not hold keys to your mailbox, therefore if you lose your keys, you will need to arrange for a locksmith to open your mailbox and reissue you with new keys.
• LIFTS
  The size of the lifts at 79-99 River street are approximately 1070mm wide x 2110mm deep x 2190mm high with a 900mm wide x 1990mm high doorway.
  The size of the lift at 1-5 Chapel Mews is approximately 1070mm wide x 2110mm deep x 2190mm high with a 900mm wide x 1990mm high doorway.
  The size of the lift at 40 & 41 Chapel Mews is approximately 1200mm wide x 2000mm deep x 2250mm high with a 900mm wide x 2100m high doorway.
  The size of the lift at 800 Chapel Street is approximately 1400mm wide x 2000mm deep x 2700mm high with a 1000mm wide x 2100mm high doorway.
  The size of the lift at 36-39 Chapel Mews is approximately 1400mm wide x 2000mm deep x 2700mm high with a 1000mm wide x 2100mm high doorway.
  Two lifts are provided to access the 700 Chapel Street Apartments. The size of the lift at 700 Chapel Street is approximately 1400mm wide x 2000mm deep x 2700mm high with a 1000mm wide x 2100mm high doorway.
  If the lift doors need to be held open for a period of time eg when moving personal belongings or furniture, a bypass key should be obtained from the Building Manager on Mobile: +61 (0) 400 010 905.
  Please do not hold the lift doors open after they start to "beep". If this happens, let the doors close naturally then open them again. Holding them open after they start the cautionary beep only creates a safety risk, damages the lift computer and can cause lift failure or malfunction along with inconvenience to you and others.
• BALCONIES

  When using your balcony please consider the comfort of those below. Unsecured items on upper levels can be carried by wind to the lower levels. Therefore please adhere to the following:

  • Cigarette butts must not be discarded over the balcony or left in ashtrays on your balcony, as wind will carry them through the Development.
  • When cleaning or watering plants, take care to avoid excess water flowing over the edge onto those below. Perhaps water late at night when no-one is sitting out on their balcony.
  • Balconies are to be kept tidy.
  • To minimise the likelihood of risk and damage to surrounding people or property during periods of high winds, all loose items are to be removed from balconies.
  • Laundry, towels, bicycles, clothing etc. are not permitted on balconies.
  • Alterations to balconies are not permitted without the approval of the Owners Corporation. Membranes that are disturbed could cause leakage to apartments below and therefore all work to balconies must be clearly detailed and provided to the Owners Corporation for approval.
• SMOKING
  • Smoking is not permitted in the common areas of the building at any time.
  • 'Smoke' in the building may result in the fire alarm and or sprinklers being activated, and the attendance of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.
  • A false alarm call made in such instances incurs a fee of approximately $4000 which will be invoiced directly to the resident identified as being responsible. It is therefore in your interest to ensure you and your friends adhere strictly to this rule.
• RUBBISH DISPOSAL
  • Garbage bins are the property of the Owners Corporation and not individually owned.
  • Do not leave rubbish in bags outside your apartment door, balconies, or the floor in the garbage area.
  • All cardboard boxes and packaging must be broken down, tied with string and neatly packed in the garbage area. Removalists should be encouraged to return to collect empty boxes.
  • All glass, plastics and steel to be taken to the garbage room in the car park and placed in the appropriate bins for recycling.
  • If you have access to a rubbish chute, please ensure your household rubbish is in thick and properly sealed plastic bags prior to placing in the rubbish chute, preventing spillage and odours escaping. It's a long way down and the rubbish can break out of the garbage bags creating a mess and causing a health risk to those cleaning the mess or in the near vicinity of the rubbish chute at the time.
  • ENSURE DAMAGE OR BLOCKAGES TO THE RUBBISH CHUTES IN 700 & 800 CHAPEL STREET DO NOT OCCUR.
• RECYCLING
  • Recyclable items should be separated and appropriate bins will be provided for the disposal of these items.
  • Please ensure that when you recycle, you take the lids off bottles and jars, take the labels off as many items as possible and clean the items before depositing.
• CLEANLINESS IN PUBLIC AREAS
  The Owners Corporation employs the Building Manager to manage the undertaking of routine cleaning of the common areas. Residents are asked to accept responsibility for maintaining the facilities provided and minimising litter and damage to the walls and floors.
• FIRE EMERGENCY FALSE ALARMS
  False Alarm Call Outs incur unnecessary expenses of approx. $4000 each time. These costs are charged to the resident identified as being responsible in cases of negligence.

  AVOIDING FALSE ALARMS

  To assist in avoiding false alarms, we advise the following situations are known to cause the alarm to be triggered:
  

  • Smoking in common areas; corridors, floor landings, lifts, stairwells etc.
  • Utilisation of fire hoses for reasons other than a fire.
  • Excess cooking smoke entering common area corridors from an apartment eg burning toast or other food (in non-dangerous situations only windows should be opened to allow excess smoke to escape).
  • Excess heat/steam entering common area corridors from an apartment e. when the apartment front door remains open during the steam cleaning of carpets.
• RECREATION CENTRE CLUB SY21
  • Club 21 is for the SY21 residents only. This is not a public gymnasium. Non Resident Owners are not to use the gymnasium, pool and spa facilities.
  • A resident must comply with the rules of use of the Recreation Centre as set by the Recreation Centre Manager or the Owners Corporation from time to time.
  • Club 21 consists of a sauna, spa, pool and gym.
  • To gain access to the recreation facilities you are to attend an induction, which is held on Wednesday evenings from 6.00pm-7:30 pm and Saturday mornings between 9:00am-10:30pm. Your proximity card will be activated on the next business day.
  • The hours of operation are between 4:30am and 11pm Monday to Sunday.
• INSURANCE & DAMAGE TO APARTMENTS
  • The Owners Corporation has an insurance policy, which covers Owners Corporation property, providing similar cover to normal household insurance. It covers the building itself but does not cover any damage to privately owned fittings, including carpets, curtains, blinds, light fittings and electric fittings or appliances not built into the unit and which can be removed, regardless of how the damage occurred. The public liability cover does not extend to cover the interior of any apartment, balcony or car space.
  • It is the responsibility of owners to arrange their own contents and public liability insurance. Owners acting as landlords require an appropriate policy.
  • If you wish to acquire a certificate of Currency for the Insurance policy please contact the manager who will provide an order form for the Insurance brokers. This is at the owner's expense.
  • If a resident is responsible for damage caused to another apartment or lot or to common property, that resident may be liable for the cost of reinstatement. Owners should be aware that any damage caused by their tenant is the responsibility of the owner and appropriate recognition of resident's responsibility should be set out in lease documents.
    It is essential that details of any potential insurance claim be forwarded to the Building Manager immediately. Your claim will be forwarded to the Owners Corporation insurer for assessment.
• RISK OF WATER DAMAGE
  • Most water damage is caused by washing machines, dish washers and overflowing baths and basins.
  • Do not leave machines or taps running when you are absent and turn off taps when machines are not in use.
  • Water ingress from one apartment to another is a private issue and not an Owners Corporation responsibility.
  • Your manager can advise you of the process if resultant damages
    Regularly check that the discharge hose on the washing machine is secure.
• INSURANCE EXCESSES

  Insurance excesses are to be paid as follows:
  Private Lot Insurance Repair - Excess is paid by the effected Lot Holder.
  Common Property Insurance Repair - Excess is paid by the effected Owners Corporation.

• PRIVATE LOCKS

  Upon taking possession of an Apartment, it is recommended that private door locks be changed.
