Who do I call if something goes wrong?

Contact the Managing Agent for issues to do with maintenance of community property, television reception issues, illegal building alterations, approval for alterations to your own property etc.

What is the Community Management Statement?

The Community Management Statement (CMS)  is a set of rules and procedures for owners and residents. The Architectural and Landscape Standards (ALS) form part of the CMS and cover issues relating to design, construction, exterior paint colours and a list of preferred plants for use in Newington.
 

What is the role of the Executive Committee?

The Executive Committee for the Community Association is elected at each Annual General Meeting. The EC's role is to administer the Community Management Statement and Architectural & Landscape Standards. 
 

What is my Community levy spent on?

Your levies are spent as per the annual budget for the Community Association which is approved at the Annual General Meeting. Levies are split between the Administration Fund and the Sinking Fund. 
 

How is my Community levy calculated?

The levy is calculated based on the Annual Budget. An amount per unit entitlement is calculated from the total amount and your levy is this amount multiplied by the number of unit entitlements of your lot.  
 

Can I change my garden?

Yes. But any change must be in line with the Architectural and Landscape Standards and you have to get the approval of the Executive Committee. You do this by submitting an application to the Managing Agent.
 

Can I undertake alterations to my house, and, if so, how do I get them approved?

Yes. But they must be in line with the Architectural and Landscape Standards and you have to get the approval of the Executive Committee ( and depending on the scale of the work, local council) prior to commencing such work. You do this by submitting an application to the Managing Agent.

Please ensure any applications are lodged with the Managing Agent for consideration.

Can I place an advertising leaflet on a lamp post?

No. Leaflets or any type of notice are permitted on any light poles in Newington. Sticky tape has been found to lift the black paint off the light poles which may lead to the offender being issued with a considerable repair bill.

I’ve got a question, and it’s not covered here. Who can I ask?

If the question relates to the CMS or ALS please contact the Managing Agent.
