Modifying your property

For advice on any modifications not listed below, please contact the Executive Committee through the contact form.

If a unit has been modified (such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation) please contact the Strata Manager with details about the renovation so the complex’s insurance coverage is correct.

 

All units – Air conditioners and evaporative coolers

Owners must submit a site plan to the Strata Manager indicating where the air conditioning / evhttps://whittles.com.au/contact-usaporative cooler unit(s) is (are) going to be placed (both inside and outside).  A “mud map” is sufficient. Normally permission is only given for owners to install air conditioner external units on their own property, not common property.

The owner must also submit the details (make / model) of the system they are planning to install including specifications.

Once these are received, the Strata Manager will contact surrounding units potentially affected (such as next door neighbours and in some cases, units behind or in front of the unit concerned) and advise the requesting owners of the outcome of the submission.
