Go for it Matt, I'm 100% behind you, a huge YES. $50 + get is VERY reasonable. I'd even go slightly more based on Andrews and your research into costings, let's let Matt get on with it, he's doing us all a favour folks!!

The plan was to decrease levies by raising revenue elsewhere. Im happy to do the job even if it's as a public service to people within the building but down at $520 per year we are looking at a simple cost recovery basis. Around $40 ~ $50 per month per sq/mt we are looking at a net profit of around $6~7k in the first year and +$8k in the years after that.

>> I’d also have to agree with Craig as there is minimal room in a one bedroom apartment so it’ll provide an attractive option for these owner or tenants. I’d say it’s adding to the attractiveness of the building to have them available for hire at a good rate. It’s hard for me to comment as I do want to hire one as well.

>> The condition would be that you have to live in the building to get the rate, just in case people think they can keep it when they move out.
>>
>> Up to $520 per year would seem fair for a cage (10 per week), although they are different sizes I don’t believe people will really have the flexibility to choose a different size once they’re all hired out. It would just be which one is next available.

>> My thought………….unlike the general public who require storage cages at one of the multi storage facilities, we have a limited number of people we can attract to lease the storage cages in Marquis…..the tenants and the few owners who live here. Many of the tenants live in studios and one bedders and don’t have a lot of extra funds I believe. Perhaps it’s more prudent to offer a true incentive of $30-35 per month?

>> Around 1500 per annum does not sound like a lot to me but perhaps others disagree

>> My only comment is regarding the rates you have calculated. I have a 4 x 3m storage unit in Alexandria and I pay $220 a month. Rates are almost double that for say, Storage King at Woolloomooloo. I am not quibbling over your suggested rates as I think they are more than fair.

>> Hi All,
>> George is in the final stages of securing and cleaning cages and Maxine will have bylaw's ready for the next AGM. It's time to turn out attention to pricing.
>>
>> Cages are between 1.5 ~ 3 sq meters. I will prepare a comprehensive drawing to be attached with the bylaws of the dimensions of cages and it's my intention to set pricing based on a square meter rate. The bigger the cage the more the cost. The per meter price should be flexible for the sitting EC at the time to set at the beginning of each year and then the pricing will adjust based on this price for all cages.
>>
>> When it comes to pricing the on going rate of storage space in Sydney in a random sample of 8 storage locations from Sydney to Alexandria to Lichart is around $100 Per Sq meter per month.
>>
>> I would suggest that as this is not really secure storage that we should provide some discount's due to the fact that's its common property and we all own the cages I think a more fair rate would be around $50 Per seq meter Per month.
>>
>> Here's the working list of rules Im going with at the moment.
>>
>> Initial rate $50 Per seq meter per month.
>> Cages will be available on a monthly basis using a license agreement.
>> Fees are paid one month in advance.
>> Fees are collected by the strata manager or the EC treasurer.
>> Licensees 1 month in arrears will be denied access to the cage and goods removed.
>> A waiting list will be established and maintained by the EC secretary.
>> Preference will be given to owners over renters.
>> Cages will only be available to building residents no external building access keys will be issued to non residents.
>>
>> Interested in constructed suggestions.
>>
>> Matt.
