Hi Rob,
I have already requested my assistant issue a breach notice to the tenant. I cannot issue an invoice for the parking as it is not in the by-laws.
Regarding the council someone will need to check how many visitors carspaces were required as part of the initial Development Application for the building.
Regards,
Maxine Wickey

Hi Maxine and EC
Here are the photos of that woman parking in the car park ( thank you Di and Phil for taking the images ) please issue a breach notice and an invoice for a month of parking at $ 120 per week + GST. These funds will go to the sinking fund.
Can you please arrange this fairly quickly so we can nip this in the bud.
In the meantime Brook and Daniel are liaising in order to get a cost for installing brackets. We are not denying anyone visitor parking by doing this. We are just controlling it and gaining vital revenue from it. Once we get the costs in we can decide how many spots we leave fro tradesmen / visitors.
Maxine, can you please get back to me relating to the City of Sydney re my previous email. How do we, or who do we contact to see the Visitor minimum spots required. We had 40 apartments in Panorama and there were 2 spots, neither was for visitors, it was for tradesmen working in the building.
Personally, I don't see the big deal about making visitors take care of their own parking. It's not our problem. But that's just me believing it's about time we all took responsibilities for ourselves. Visitors to the building are not victims and don't need our hand out with free parking. If tenants in the building want to provide free parking, get a house in the burbs. This is inner city living and this is what happens, space is a premium and should be paid for.

Hi Rob,
We issue breach notices if advised. In relation to the visitors carspaces you may need to check - it may have beena condition of council that there be visitors carspaces.
If someone can send me a photo of the resident parking there I will send the notice.

Subject: [200William-EC] Car Park
Car park: OK, we're all in agreement, I think the first and easiest step to stop illegal parking is to put those yellow bracket locks ( thats the best description I could come up with ). We offer the spaces for lease. They get a key to unlock their space. It's really simple although I am guessing in Nanny State Australia there will be some rule or bi-law or bloody regulation that says it's not easy.
Let's stop buggarising around with the narcissicist in 502. Send them a warning notice immediately to stop parking there. If they don't, stick a wheel lock on her car. Can someone do this? Let me have her details ands I will GLADLY do it. Here she is renting a spot, the revenue should be coming to us, not her. We have evidence of her parking there, thanks Phil and Di, lets send her an invoice. Let's immediately install the brackets. Lets immediately notify the residents that spaces are available for a weekly monthly rental of $300 + GST, minimum 3 months, key deposit $200 + GST ( fully refundable ). We are not obliged to provide visitors spots. So don't. If we just get on with it, it can happen so quickly no one will no the difference.
I think I am saying let's actually do something. The time has come.
I will start by contacting a supplier to give us a cost for the brackets. As I am not in Sydney, would it be possible for someone to allow access to the contractor so they can see the spaces in order to quote on the job? I just need 1 person who lives in the building. We can arrange a mutually agreeable time. It will take 5 minutes.
Who issues invoices on behalf of the building? Is it Maxine, is it George? I would be happy to do it. Just tell me what to do and I will issue the invoice on behalf of the EC. I just need the woman's details and I will do it right away. $75 per week ( cheap ) for 8 weeks + GST ( based on the evidence we have )

Visitor Parking Spaces:
I am in total agreement to lease them out and derive income for the Body corporate. Currently there is no way to police people using them as they wish. As Matt says, there is already some selfish occupant within the building who has rented out their car space and selfishly plonks their vehicle in a visitors space without any regard for anyone else. Whilst George goes to a lot of trouble taking photos and attaching notices to every occupants door threatening action, the offenders just ignore/laugh at the notice. This also goes for other selfish occupants who don't give a damn and just park in the visitors spots for indefinite times. I too have had occasion when a guest to my apartment cannot park their vehicle because of the selfish actions/disregard by others.
Storage Cages:
I am in total agreement to Lease them out. They legally belong to the Owners Corporation. Whilst I have raised this issue previously this problem will not go away and it may well be that another owner, in the future or whenever, will ask the same question as I, as to who owns them and how do you get hold of one.
Rooftop Barbeque:
I agree that this needs to be more attractive and on a user pay basis. I don't consider this a priority.
Rooftop Gymnasium:
Again I agree this needs to be made more attractive and on a user pay basis, and perhaps placed on the EC agenda for follow up action.
IN SUMMARY:
I agree with Rob that the current levies for a building of this type is totally over the top, and where there is areas to derive income for the body corporate, then I am all in favour of pursuing those possibilities. As we agreed at the last EC meeting the installation of the CCTV cameras to the foyers on each floor is the only evidence the police can use to prosecute criminal and malicious behaviour, as we have recently witnessed. I am happy to support the best quote for this installation.

I do feel that the 5 visitor parking places should remain just that (as part of the appeal of the building, along with the roof access, etc) and we should work out a way to ensure they remain for visitors' use with a 24hr limit.
We just want to make sure we don"t have a repetition of the woman who bought a house lower down Dowling St, then bought the 2 commercial spots, let the vendor remain in one, parked herself in the visitors' and brought in tradies each morning who were working on her house down to park in other visitors' spots !!
Tradies working in the building are another matter, and I think they should be tolerated.
In the next email I'll attach some evidence of the same car parked in the a visitor's spot since the 16th Nov.
regards,
Di

Thanks to all for their thought and feedback - some great ideas.
I am particularly in favour of having a more managed approach to spare parking spaces and I would be keen to let these out if possible. the income would be very handy.
I agree about a fee for renting out the cages - should have done it years ago - good idea Matt!
Re the gym - it has always been a white elephant, but perhaps we consider a proper upgrade and a user pays. I think this would make people look after the equipment and restrict access to those who appreciate a gym.
BBQ - area - i think the upgrade needs to be taken into consideration with some of the other renovations before making a decision. This woul be a low priority for me after security and foyer works.
Thanks again all, Maxine, would you please add these ideas to the agenda for discussion as a group at next EC meeting.

Hi All,
This is a bit of a knock-on from Rob's last email where he questioned
costs of the upgrading of the building cameras. There seems a real
problem here as the owners want reduced strata costs however our
building is small and there is not that many lots to spread the cost
over. There is not a lot of breathing room in the budget and owners want
more facilities, Building upgrades and security features. We have
little way to recoup some of these cost's other then strata levies
however perhaps there are some options for us. It's of note that these
suggestions will almost certainly require a bylaw change in it self will
have an associated cost.
User Pays.
Brook recently brought up the idea of Cages that are on common property.
lets lease these to people rather then giving them away. They have real
value. It's not unreasnoable to ask $20 ~ $50 Per month for these in our
Sydney location. This could add up to a few thousand per year. I note
also that there are a few store rooms and other spaces throughout the
building that are utilized. I for one would be happy to rent one of
these. Let's put some figures on them and get them rented. It's money
for jam.
Gym - If we plan to fix/upgrade it. Perhaps we can charge people a
maintenance fee if they use it. If they dont want to pay for it lets
turn it into more storage space and save the P/L and Insurance. It's a
simple matter of putting a card reader on the Gym Door and activating it
on lots that pay only. It should at least cover the insurance and P/L
Visitor parking - This is constantly used as parking for tenants. Evey
time I have tried to get a visitor in there it's full of the usual
suspects. Perhaps some sort of user pay's system would work here. I have
no idea how but throwing it out there. At the very least a nominal fee
may stop people using it as additional car spaces. I know for a fact
that one tenant in the building is renting their space to an outside
person and using visitor parking for there own car.
The Roof - We have discussed user pays here before. My thoughts is it
would have little chance of making it through a AGM/EGM as it's to
attractive as a selling point for property in the building. But if
upgrades were to happen the BBQ should at least have a coin box.
Other property have done some of these measure nearby to great effect.
(Particularly storage).
Matt
