Hi All,
Bellow is an email from the new owner's of 602. - They have asked some questions about NYE and I think given their background it would be good to get their input on NYE and the roof. I can include them on email's regarding NYE with your permission.
Hey Matt,
My husband and owner of the unit would probably love to talk with you in regards to this.
(Ken created and produced the Big Day Out - so would have some amazing fun ideas)
We would love to know what you do and what you want to do.
Do you charge for roof use for over an above a agreed to number for each apartment?
Do you have a bar running up there?
How does security work? - a wrist band system would be simple.
What is the capacity of the roof?
A designated smoking area..( with ashtrays - )
What hours does the roof run from?
When would you be meeting the EC? or is it just email stuff?
Looking forward to hearing form you soon.

Thanks George,
All,
I suggest the following changes. What do you think.
For New Years Eve your privacy and building security will be controlled by the requirement of a guest list for all guests wishing to enter ANY PART of the building including the roof top on 31 December. Your guest list will be limited based on the size of your apartment (10 tickets per each bedroom).
I suggest replacing "ANY PART" with "Level 7 rooftop". - There is no way anyone is stopping me having as many people that I want in my apartment that I own. This is crazy to even thing we can. People should be free to do as they wish within their own homes as long as it does not impact others.
I suggest "based on he size of your apartment" be removed and replaced with "Your guest list for the level 7 roof top will be limited to 15". The system of limiting to the size of your apartment is nonsense and benefits a very select amount of owners within the building. It gives no regard to people with no view and is in my opinion designed to befit two former members of the executive comity. The two biggest apartments in the building have massive balcony's facing north and west and have no reason to use the roof at all on NYE.
Please note: Glass, bottles, alcohol or smoking is not permitted on level 7 or common areas, all other drinks must be transferred to a plastic cup before leaving your apartment.
Im open to discussing the removal of Alcohol from this. But we need to remember that we possibly have insurance liability here. Perhaps Pia could give some advise. I think plastic is still a requirement and smoking can be done in your own apartment not the roof. I have lived in the building 5 years and there has not been a NYE that has gone buy where I have not had to extinguish a cigaret from my balcony. Once from my furniture. Once a guest was hit. There is no room for smoking while some smokers show disregard for throwing burning material over the balcony.
Let's get this knocked over quickly.
Matt.

Hi Mark
I have NO objection to the Xmas day bbq requested by your tenant and the NYE fee compensates the security costs. Again no objection

Thanks for the response guys.
My tenant renato has lived in the building for almost a year now and can honestly say he is the model tenant living in my 1 bedroom apartment. If there is a consensus on the roof etiquette and any proposed changes for NYE I'm quite happy to pass this on to renato which I'm sure he'll be more than happy to comply with.
In any case he's asked for 4 tickets to the roof for new years eve and to have access to the bbq with a few friends on Christmas day.
Let me know what you all think..
Thanks

Hi Mark and Matt
I concur with Matts remarks and would be quite receptive to a more liberal approach to the rooftop facilities use, particularly NYE.
Why shouldn't behaved people not be able to enjoy an alcoholic drink on the rooftop with a snag or 2 from the barbie?
What's the point of having the facilities if they can't be enjoyed?
Yes, these strict rules were introduced to appease 2 selfish residents!

Hi Mark,
Traditionally there is nothing special on Christmas day. On NYE tickets are sold to pay for security for the roof top. In the past there has been problems with the roof top and alcohol. Last year there was no BBQ facilities on NYE and No alcohol or smoking allowed on the roof. There was also a limited number of tickets based on your apartment bedrooms.
I have never been much of a fan of that setup and as it turns out some of the complaints may have been manufactured by some old EC members purely because they had the most to gain about a low key event on the roof.
I am quite open to perhaps changing some of the rules regarding the roof any NYE. Im not sure how everyone else feels about. I have always thought there was a great injustice in that as it turned out people with larger balcony's with views ended up with more roof tickets then people that had no view.
The whole process is tentative at best as their is no bylaw in place so in effect the whole thing is a bluff.
Perhaps now we have a more reasonable EC we can re-consider some of the issues for NYE. I still believe security , no smoking I think is still a good idea for the roof space. If you want to smoke return to your apartment. Only because people tend to toss cigarettes off the building.
What do we all think.
Matt.

Hi guys,
My tenant in 2.03 is wanting to organise Xmas and New Years in the building and I wasn't sure if there was any particular protocols or rules surrounding this. I think all he was interested in was a BBQ for 6 on Christmas Day and then just watching the fireworks from the rooftop on New Years but wasn't sure if the building allocated rooftop tickets or if he needed to apply to use the BBQ on those particular days.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?
Thanks
