2.1 Moving-In Procedures and Protection MeasuresAll residents are required to follow moving-in procedures, to ensure adequate access to building and loading facilities, protection of common property and minimal disruption to residents.Residents must contact the Owners Corporation Manager in advance of moving in to arrange access and confirm procedures. Upon registration of a resident, the Owners Corporation Manager will organise the car park remote and assist with moving in. Procedures may involve:01 Booking a suitable moving-in time To ensure loading facilities are available, and adequate protection measures are installed in the lift and common property;02 A refundable deposit To cover damage to common property;03 Insurance To ensure the removalist company has suitable insurance to cover damage to common property and public liability; and04 Rubbish removal To ensure suitable disposal by residents. At time of initial moving in, there will be a designated storage area for flattened boxes, plastic etc, nominated by the Owners Corporation Manager. Please note boxes and plastic wrapping etc are not to be put into the general refuse garbage bins.

2 Moving-In Guide

The following are recommended measures for protecting the building and the apartment while moving-in:01 Ceilings, Walls and Doors Use common sense and avoid scuffing or chipping ceiling, walls and door frames. Pay particular attention to avoid any damage to sprinkler heads.02 Flooring Do not drag heavy objects across carpets/flooring – use appropriate moving equipment and/or carry all objects.03 Flooring As part of the acoustic treatment to the apartments, some areas of tiled floors are laid over an acoustic underlay. As the underlay is flexible, a protective layer of soft fabric and stiff load distribution sheeting (i.e. plywood) should be used when moving heavy furniture and whitegoods over tiles. This will prevent potential damage to the tiles and grout joints. The resident is responsible for ensuring that service accounts are connected in the name upon occupation of the new apartment.

2.2 For your Information2.2.1 Australia Post

The resident must apply for mail re-direction (a form can be obtained at any Australia Post branch) if mail is required to be diverted from an existing address.

3.4 Levies: Administration and Sinking FundLevies are the financial contributions paid by all owners to the Owners Corporation to cover the running costs incurred in the management of the building and for allocation for capital expenditure. Each owner pays a share of the cost which is apportioned according to the unit liabilities (ULs), outlined in the Plan of Subdivision (see appendix A). At each Annual General Meeting a budget is set for the anticipated expenditure for the year. Levies are then determined and resolved for the administrative and sinking funds.

3.1 Strata Title The apartment is a strata titled building. As an owner of an apartment, the owner is an owner of a lot within a strata scheme. All areas within the building which do not form part of an individual apartment lot are common property, such as the entry lobby, lifts, car park, building structure and services. The common property is owned by the Owners Corporation, and all owners contribute financially to the maintenance of these areas.The Owners Corporation is the body which represents all the apartment owners collectively. As an apartment owner, the owner is automatically part of the Owners Corporation, and is responsible for how the building is managed and for financial contributions to maintenance of the common property.To protect the property asset, Blue Earth strongly recommends all owners take an active role in the Owners Corporation to ensure an appropriate maintenance plan for the building is put in place, and that adequate financial provision is made to the sinking fund for this work. It is essential that the Owners Corporation seek professional advice from an independent maintenance adviser in this regard, to prepare a costed maintenance plan for the building and set levies accordingly.

3.2 Owners Corporation The Owners Corporation deals with all matters associated with the management and administration of the common property including:01 Maintenance, cleaning and repairs;02 Insurances (such as building, public liability, workers compensation etc.);03 Control, cleaning and use of the common facilities;04 Matters relating to garbage, noise, pets and the like;05 Administration and sinking fund;06 Rules; and07 Administration of the Executive Committee.The Executive Committee is a body of volunteer owners who are elected to represent the Owners Corporation to the day to day running of the strata scheme.
