Jacksons Landing is a planned community and each building has been designed by an architect to work in harmony with all the other buildings. To ensure this philosophy is adhered to by each strata in implementing any later changes to their buildings, a group of common architectural standards have been drawn up to control such things as alterations to buildings, washing on balconies, window furnishings visible from outside the building etc. These standards are administered by the Community Association as the overarching body for the whole estate. While all changes to the appearance of buildings require Community Association approval, in practice the Community Association normally accepts recommendations from each strata executive committee. It is wise to check the standards before you take action to alter your residence in a way that can be seen from outside.

Each building has its own rules for moving in and out. You can see them by going to your building page, where you can download a copy of the procedure. In general, you need to book all moves with the Resident Services Manager on 02 8565 9400, pay a bond against damage to the common property, and for most buildings, have the move supervised by a security officer. Click here to download a copy of the booking form. If you have moved into a new building and need large items (eg fridge, lounge suite) delivered, you may also have to book a time with the RSM, so that you do not conflict with others still moving in.

Unfortunately no. The fire stair doors are connected to the security section of the Gatehouse and ring an alarm whenever they are opened. Also, the stairs are pressurised as part of our fire protection, and if the doors are opened and closed it takes energy to re-pressurise the stairwell.

Residents must seek permission to keep a pet. The Community Association has authorised each strata committee to approve applications to keep pets. The process and conditions may vary slightly from strata to strata, and from time to time. Write a letter to your strata committee asking for permission. Details should include:

• Type of pet
• Male / Female
• Micro-chipped?
• Trained / obedient
• Size
• Approx weight
• Temperament
• Any other information that may be relevant.

Tenants must get written consent from the owner of their apartment. The strata committee will review the application. You may need to wait for the next meeting. If permission is granted, it is subject to a number of conditions, to which you must agree in writing; for example:

• At no time will you cause or permit the Community Management Statement or other by-laws to be breached
• The pet must be kept in a manner which does not cause nuisance or excessive noise to other residents
• No damage is caused to common property
• Pets must either be carried or kept on a leash while on common property – this includes the gardens, lifts and lobbies
• Toileting of pets is not permitted on community or strata common property (excreta must be cleaned and removed)
• During fire evacuation a pet must be carried in a pet cage or kept on a leash
• The strata Committee reserves the right to review and retract this approval if any of the above conditions are not fulfilled.
• When your written acceptance is received you will be approved to keep a pet. There are more details about keeping pets, including breeds of dogs that are not permitted, in the Community Management Statement.

See the “Dog Owners” note on the Community Activities page for information on the local parks and dog lead requirements.

The short answer is that you cannot build on your balcony without permission of both your strata plan and the Community Association. Click here to download the Architectural Standards for the Community Association. This means you cannot build any structure, install the compressor for an air conditioner, build a built-in barbecue, enclose part of your balcony or even install an awning on your balcony, without permission. It would be wise to speak to a member of your strata committee to find out what may or may not be allowed before you go to any trouble or expense, in case permission is refused.

You need the approval of your strata committee to install a storage unit on your car space in the car park. Since stratas have different strata managers, find the contact details for your strata here.

Cleaning of a vehicle parking space is the resident’s responsibility.

The Owners Corporation cannot take action in a private matter involving a resident’s car space. It is NOT permissible to wheel clamp cars or place stickers on car windows. If someone parks in your car space you need to take the issue to the other car owner directly. Security may place a notice on the car asking them to move, or try to identify the owner. If this problem persists, please email your strata manager. Since stratas have different strata managers, find the contact details for your strata manager here.

With the approval of the strata committee they may write a letter to the car owner. Residents may not park in visitor car spaces or anywhere on the common property of the building. Some buildings have a bollard system to ensure that only visitors use these spaces. If your building has bollards and you have a visitor needing a space, go to the Gatehouse and sign out a bollard key for a space. This key must be returned as instructed by security.

Residents are issued with an air key to access their building’s secure parking area. There is a limit to the number of air keys per unit – this is set by each strata committee. You can see your building’s restrictions by going to your building page.

Visitor parking varies from building to building, and is never guaranteed. You can see your building’s requirements by going to your building page. In general, residents can provide access for their visitors, and there are limits on the time a visitor can occupy a car space. Residents are not allowed to park in visitor parking areas, and for many buildings a key must be obtained from, and returned to, the RSM or Security. The City of Sydney has recently changed its visitor parking system, and now issues a number of daily permits to eligible residents. Click here for details.

All residents and their guests are welcome to join the aquarobics group which is free. You need to collect a fob from the Gatehouse, and, if you are new, contact Lorraine beforehand. It is in the Glasshouse Pool at 10am on Tuesdays and Fridays. We usually go for coffee afterwards. For enquires contact Lorraine on 0419 021 309.

The Glasshouse pool and gym are available for use by all current residents. There are restrictions on access to comply with Covid-19 regulations. For information, and copies of the rules, go to Glasshouse Pool or Glasshouse Gym.

The courts are for residents of Jacksons Landing, who pay for their upkeep. A resident may book a court and employ their own coach, but otherwise coaching is not allowed.

It is OK to play, as long as the courts are not under water.

Social tennis is on Thursdays 9-11am in summer, 9am-11noon in winter, and Sundays 8-10am in summer, 9-11am in winter. Anyone who plays tennis at any level can come and play. The first to arrive can pick up the key from the Security Gatehouse, go to the court and start playing. With enquiries contact Anthony on 0404 876 927 (Sundays) or Nicki on 0492 466 859 (Thursdays).

All residents may use the tennis courts. You can book by phoning the Resident Service Manager (RSM) on 02 8565 9400 Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4.30pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm. Outside RSM hours bookings can be made by contacting Security on 02 8565 9494. Hours of use are from 8am to sunset.

Each booking is for a maximum of one hour and it is not possible to book more than a week in advance. Coaching is not allowed to anyone who is not a resident of Jacksons Landing. To obtain access to the tennis courts, pick up a key from the Gatehouse. As a security deposit for this key and to prove that you are a resident, you will be asked to leave a fob or your driver’s licence showing your JL address. This will be returned after your game.

There are also social tennis times – Thursdays 9.00-11.o0am and Sundays 4-6pm in summer, 3-5pm in winter – when any resident can come and play with other residents, without having to book.

To download the rules, and see when a court is available, go to the Facilities section.

If you have any questions or comments about the tennis courts, email the convenor of the Assets Subcommittee of the Community Association.

The thermostatic-controlled mixing valve is faulty. A service needs to be carried out annually by a licensed plumber. Click here for a list of tradespeople used by Jacksons Landing residents.

The battery (9V good quality – eg Duracell, Energizer) needs replacing. Remove the cover, unscrew the smoke alarm unit from the ceiling, and replace the battery. This should be done annually.

If you need an electrician, click here for a list of tradespeople used by Jacksons Landing residents.

Each strata sets the number of FOBs and air keys residents may have. For more than the quota, you need to apply to your strata executive committee. See your building page for more information.

Lost or damaged fobs/air keys will be cancelled and swipe cards will now be replaced by fobs.

If your garage air key is not working, the problem is often a flat battery. Please check the battery before applying for a replacement.

To obtain a replacement, it is necessary to determine the ID numbers of the keys that you still possess. These are located: On the face of the fobs (and older card swipes) and on the back of the garage air keys.

Note: If you cannot read the numbers, both RSM (Resident Services Management) and Security Gatehouse (24/7), have key readers.

Contact RSM to arrange a form for a replacement key (see the link below), or collect it from the Estate Management office on the corner of 45 Bowman Street (Monday to Friday 08:00 am to 4:30m pm). There is a charge of $25 for a fob and $60 for an air key.  This can be paid by Visa or Mastercard when you return the form to the RSM.

The purchase is recorded and a receipt issued. The unique electronic code of new fob and air key serial numbers are recorded.  The receipt date is the commencement of a 12 month warranty.  The warranty covers a defective device but it does not cover a damaged fob or air key.  A replacement for a defective device will be issued within the 12 month warranty period free of charge.

Applicants will need to provide proof of ID and address and permission to obtain any keys.

If you are renting your property via an agency, the agency will need to arrange for the purchase of the lost air key and fob, on behalf of the owner. Please note, it will be the tenant’s responsibility to coordinate the scanning of the remaining fobs to ascertain which fob has been lost so that that fob can be cancelled.

No issue of a fob or air key can occur until the remaining fobs/air keys have been scanned and identified and ALL sections of the application form have been completed.

Note: Most stratas have limits on the number of keys that can be issued to a unit. The RSM and Security can advise you of these limits. If you have been approved for additional fobs or air keys, please provide supporting documentation.

Security can give you access to your floor, but they do not hold keys for your front door. They can give you details of a locksmith – the usual wait is about an hour. They recommend that you keep a spare key in a safe place to cover such a future predicament.

If you are moving or are having large items (eg fridge, lounge suite) delivered, you may have to book a time with the Security on 02 8565 9494.

There is no provision for handing in lost property, as the Resident Services Manager (RSM) and security officers cannot store or manage found items. The RSM can take details of valuable property in case someone enquires, but will advise you to hand it in to the police.

If you are the victim of a crime, you should immediately report it to the police on 02 9265 6499, and also our security officers on 02 8565 9494. The security guards cannot detain anyone, but they monitor the Estate, and it is useful for them to be aware of any incidents. For emergencies ring the police on 000.
