Strata News

Balconies

There have been a number of occasions recently where items, especially lit cigarettes and water have been discarded over balconies, this has caused significant damages to items on lower levels and is also a huge safety issue. The following rules (as per bylaws) apply to balconies within Silk:

  • Smoking on Balconies is not permitted
  • Nothing to be thrown over balconies
  • Water and hosing of plants/balconies tiles should not impact any other resident – ie water coming over the edge of your balcony.  Take care around the balustrades and edges.

Window Cleaning

Window cleaning is scheduled for 2-3 times a year. Future dates for cleans TBC and are weather dependent. Once the clean has been completed residents will be invited to provide feedback to the building manager.

Bike Audits

Bike audits are conducted from time to time for the L5 Bike room and all communal bike storage areas. During an audit, tags will be attached to all bikes in these areas. Please remove the tag attached to your bike which will identify that it belongs to a current resident. Any bikes that have a tag left on them after the audit is complete will be removed and donated to a local charity. Audits are is necessary to ensure that the communal storage facilities do not get filled up with abandoned bikes and take up valuable space. The next audit data is TBC.

Visitor Parking

Silk has two visitor parking areas. One accessed from Tambua St and shared with Stonecutters and Knox on Bowman. The second can be accessed from Bowman. Visitor parking operates the same in both locations.

Residents are not allowed to park in the visitors’ car park, even for short periods.

A system of lockable bollards in all visitor car spaces ensures equitable use of this asset. These are to be used only by short term visitors for continuous periods of up to 24 hours.

Application for use of a visitor car space is to be made by the sponsoring resident to Security staff at the Gatehouse on Bowman Street. If a space is available, Security will issue a bollard key to the resident and record the resident’s name and contact details and the name and car registration number of the intended visitor. Immediately after the visitor’s departure (no more than 24 hours after the time of issue of the key) the bollard must be re-locked and the key returned to Security and logged off. Security will provide the Building Management committee with a periodic report of these records.

Access to the visitor parking area from Tambua St. is via the right-hand boom gate on entering the car park. The visitor must make contact with the sponsoring resident by using the intercom panel before the right hand boom gate and the resident will then raise the boom gate and unlock the bollard at the allotted car space. On the visitor’s departure, the bollard must be re-locked and the key returned immediately to Security.

Inappropriate or careless use of the bollard system may result in one or more restrictions or penalties:
* Removal of the lock and installation of a new lock;
* An administrative fee of $120 being charged against the offending resident for costs associated with the bollard key replacement;
* A ban being imposed on the issue of bollard keys to the offender for up to 3 months.
