Hi Paul,
Welcome to the building. My name is Matt Perkins I am the Secretary of
the Executive committee of Marquis's strata plan. Typically day to day
building operating matters are arranged by our building manager George
Ziri and matters relating to strata fees and correspondence are done by
Pia Cunningham. Both have the EC's support and should be able to handle
most of your queries.
Im of cause also happy to help where I can and I happen to know a bit
about your apartment and the questions you posed so I will try to answer
best I can.
/1.//Is there a phone connection inside the apartment?/
Under the telecommunications act the facility cable for your specific
apartment is the responsibility of the apartment owner. Cabling to the
building MDF and distribution throughout the floors is usually the
responsibility of the Strata. Typically like in our apartments the
developer puts a cable to each apartment connecting the building MDF to
a socket within the apartment. Your apartment was extensively renovated
a few years back and it's possible the builder that did the renovations
covered up where the existing cable is or cut the existing cable. If
that is the case it would be the owners responsibility to run a new
cable between where you want your phone located within your apartment
and the IDF which is located in the building riser cupboard.
Can you see any sockets within your apartment for phones. If you can not
it's likely they were covered during the renovation or the wall where
the cable was is no longer in that position and a new cable was not
run. Best to contact your preferred carrier to get them to investigate
or a licensed cabler to run a new cable if that's required. Marquis is
equipped with Firstpath NBN style super fast broad band. If that
interests you best to contact one of their resellers eg, Harbour ISP,
Exetel or Telesurf.
/2.//Is there a TV aerial to the apartment?/
Much like the telephone the original developer installed Coax cable for
Pay TV and Foxtel (satellite) between the building riser and each
apartment. I can recall that the builder during the renovation of your
apartment did re-install after cutting the coax cable A cable that was
used for Foxtel (satellite). It's likely still configured in this
configuration. If you would like it changed to provide a Free to air TV
the cable needs to be switched from the Foxtel system to the buildings
Free to Air Antenna. We can arrange that via George if need be. Or if
you want Foxtel the Foxtel installer typically makes any changes
needed. Is worth noteing that Telstra are in the process of upgrading
the building's Foxtel from Satellite to a cable system. This will allow
digital Foxtel. This should happen over the next few months. It might be
worth taking this into account before signing any contracts for
provision of Pay TV services. If of cause the cable can not be found
within your apartment. That is the previous owner removed the cable.
It's your responsibility to replace it.
/3.//Does the strata have any involvement in the supply of air
conditioning to the apartment?
/Yes and no. Within your apartment is a reverse cycle condenser unit and
duct work. That provides cooling and heating to your apartment using
electricity from your standard apartment supply and meter. These
components are owned and maintained by the apartment owner. There is a
component of this system that is provided by the strata which is in the
plant room on the roof of the building which consists of a cooling
tower, pumps and hot water gas boiler. These components are the
responsibility of the strata. The strata keeps them maintained and
operating inline with government legislation around cooling towers.
Currently there has been an ongoing problem with the buildings hot water
gas boiler that may stop your internal unit from heating under some
circumstances. The buildings HVAC engineer Daniel Sharp has been working
on this problem for around a month now and is close to a solution. The
best way to determine if the problem is internal to your unit or
external to the building is to contact a licensed refrigeration
engineer. (The building use Daniel Sharp 1800 80 69 70 Sharp cooling)
4.Is there a charge for using our allotted storage cage?
If you do not have a storage cage as part of your car space on your
title and you would like storage space the strata have several to rent
to owners and tenants. The cages are on common property and are owned by
the strata. Cages are available and can be rented currently for $45 Per
month. If you contact Pia Cunningham at STM she can provide you with a
license agreement and allocate your a cage at which time George Ziri
can unlock your cage. You will need to provide a padlock to secure the
cage or George can provide you a key for one with a $60 deposit.
I hope this information has been of some help If I can be of any further
assistance please give me a call or drop me an email.
Kind Regards
Matt.

My apologies Paul. I have realised that Andrew was not provided a key.
You will need to communicate with Pia the Strata Manager to executed
a licensing agreement. I have copied Pia in.

Thanks Paul.
Would you be kind to ask Andrew what he had done with the key as we
will need to replace the entire padlock which is expensive.

Morning George,
No I believe we do not have a key to the cage. I also mentioned it
to Andrew, the previous owner, and he pointed me to you.
Any help would be appreciated.

Good afternoon Paul
Nice to meet you and welcome.
The key should have been handed over from the previous owner. I take
it as it hadn’t?

George,
I would like to introduce myself – I am the new owner of apt 401.
We do not have a key to our storage cage. How do we get one?
Thanks,
