We have a range of different options for everyone to get the most out of life at The Precinct – choose what suits you!

We’ve started developing a ‘welcome kit’ to help new residents settle in smoothly, you can find some of the information on the Precinct Hub now. Community input would be greatly appreciated! Is there anything you found unclear or missing when you first moved in? Did you wish there was something additional covered in the induction? Please let us know by submitting your ideas below.

Please be advised that line marking works will be carried out on the Ogilvie Rd driveway servicing the Stage Two and Visitor Bays car park.

Wednesday, 4th March - Thursday, 5th March

There will be no access (entry or exit) to the driveway during the following times:

10:00 PM Wednesday, 4th March to 4:00 AM Thursday, 5th March

Important: Any vehicles requiring access between 10:00 PM and 4:00 AM must exit the driveway prior to 10:00 PM on Wednesday, 4 March, as access will not be available during this period.

Access outside of these hours will be permitted; however, works will still be ongoing, and caution is advised.

If you can’t attend or vote on a matter (such as at an AGM/EGM), you can usually still vote by appointing a proxy – someone who attends and votes on your behalf. It’s a straightforward way to stay involved, even when you can’t be in the room. Please ensure proxy forms are submitted before the deadline announced by the Strata Manager, so your vote can be counted.

Pick someone you trust and who’s likely to attend for the full meeting – a neighbour you know, or a friend or family member. Some people appoint an engaged owner or PCG member who they know will vote in their best interest.

You can be as specific or non-specific as you like. You can tell your proxy exactly what vote you want to cast (eg “Vote yes on 1–3, no on 4”) or leave it to them if you trust their judgement (eg “Use your judgement, except vote no on Motion 2”).

If you don’t have someone in mind, ask in the group chat who’s attending – someone will usually be happy to help.

Simply advise the Strata Manager of the details of the individual you want to nominate as your proxy.

There’s a new TV in the Lounge! It is currently waiting for an electrician to connect it up, we’re unsure when this will be completed but keep an eye out.

The COO and Strata Manager held a COO information session on 19 Feb 2026 for owners to ask questions about how the building is managed, and find out about the roles of the COO and the Strata Manager.

The Q&A will be shared with all owners so anyone that missed the session can get the same information. We encourage all owners to review the Q&A once it’s circulated to ensure everyone has a clear understanding of how matters are being managed.

There are a few floors that have had the lift facade tiling repaired/replaced, and some individual lot balconies are having repair work completed. This work is expected to continue on at least through March at this point in time, and will unfortunately cause noise on neighbouring floors during business hours.

We kindly ask all residents to please provide advance notice in the WhatsApp group if they’re planning any work in their apartment or balcony that may generate noise. A simple heads-up allows those working from home to adjust their schedules and helps minimise disruption.

The Building Manager requested everyone with a bicycle in the lockers/racks to tag their bikes for identification by 20th Feb 2026, blue identification tags can be obtained from the Concierge desk. All untagged bicycles will be moved to storage for 6 months. These can be claimed, and if unclaimed will be donated to a charitable organisation. Please direct any further questions to [email protected] or [email protected].

Are you new to The Precinct (Stage 2), looking for some advice, or guidance on anything from your apartment appliances to the various features/amenities of the building?

The Precinct Community Group (PCG) is offering sessions to any resident (new or existing) – It’s a good opportunity to meet the PCG members, as they can assist you with understanding how things work here at the Precinct.

Details on the next session will be shared shortly - keep an eye on the Precinct Hub and WhatsApp group.

You can join the Social Club, there’s a $20/year membership fee with specific activity costs being advised once arranged. You can find application forms in the Lounge on L3 (Stage 2).

There are processes in-place to allow ambulance and fire personnel to get into the common areas of The Precinct, including up to your floor. However, there is no centralised way to provide them access into your specific apartment, other than in the event of an emergency they will break down your door.

Some residents have created a unique single-use or ongoing-use PIN to their door, and requested it be stored on a list kept in the fire cupboard. To have your details added, please contact [email protected].

If you would like help setting up a unique single-use or ongoing-use PIN for emergency purposes, you can reach out to the Concierge, or just reply to this newsletter/send us an email to [email protected]!

If you’re able to be a support to residents on your floor when there’s a situation like a fire alarm or you get locked out, we recommend reaching out to the neighbours on your floor and offer them your contact details.

If you’d like to have your details listed as the warden for your floor on the community website, just reply to this newsletter or send us an email to [email protected]!

We kindly ask all residents to please provide advance notice in the WhatsApp group if they’re planning any work in their apartment or balcony that may generate noise. A simple heads-up allows those working from home to adjust their schedules and helps minimise disruption.

Please leave Mailroom lockers unlocked after use. When you recover
your parcel, just close the door and leave it unlocked – If the lockers are re-locked, they cannot be used by others!

The Precinct is a pet-friendly building – but please be mindful of issues of hygiene and waste disposal. The Strata Manager advise that owners and residents should securely bag dog waste and dispose of it in:

Please be mindful that your dog doesn’t urinate on the building grounds, up against pylons or the walls of the building. Best to steer clear to avoid accidents. Under no circumstances are dogs to be taken to any areas on L3, except the pooch parking. The synthetic grass area on L3 is not intended as a pet toilet and residents are requested to ensure they clean up after their pet immediately if they have an ‘accident’ on common property.

Cleaners that get called out to messes that have been left end up costing us all through levies with out-of-hours callout fees.

Please be mindful when you’re taking rubbish bags down to the bin room, as they can sometimes leak on the lift floors!

To avoid disturbing other residents, please do not use the rubbish chutes before 8am or after 8pm. Larger items like cardboard boxes will block the bin chutes, and bottles/glass should not be disposed of via the chute - these must be taken to the bin room on the ground floor.

Please ensure all rubbish is securely tied in bags to prevent spills, odours, and pests in the chute. The bin chute has a flap inside the chute that you need to ensure the bag pushes through. A gentle push of your bag into the chute should be sufficient to send your rubbish on its way.

If you block the chute, you are causing a major problem for the whole building – When in doubt take it to the bin room on the ground floor. This also reduces noise and vibration and keeps shared areas hygienic for everyone.

The Precinct Community Group is an active group of owners and tenants who want to support their community at The Precinct by acting as a contact point, helping and providing advice to new residents getting settled in, sharing information, and helping with specific tasks.

Are you interested in being a participative member of the Precinct Community Group (PCG)? The PCG is open to anyone who wants to be involved, owners and tenants alike! When showing your interest in participating, please pick the involvement level that best matches how you want to participate. Just a heads up – to keep things moving, we can’t always wait for input from members who aren’t actively participating, and there will be some topics that apply to owners only.

Click below and provide your details, and we’ll feature your campaign message in a future edition and on the Precinct Hub. This is not a formal nomination to Strata (this must be done separately).
