Access and Keys
Note if you lock yourself out of the building this is not the responsibility of AHA.
The Body Corporate strongly suggests that you leave a key with a neighbour, friend or relative who lives close by.
Access Security
Please do not tailgate when entering the carparks. If you are suspicious about someone entering the carpark whilst you have the door raised, please contact the Building Manager.
Emergency Procedures
Evacuation alarm — means that conditions exist in the building that require complete evacuation.
Evacuation Procedures
All persons must evacuate from your apartment. Please familiarise yourself with the fire evacuation diagrams located in each lift foyer.
Exit via the fire exit stairwells. Do not use the lifts.
Go to the assembly areas and stay there until directed to return to the building.
If you have mobility-impaired persons in your apartment, stay in your apartment but notify the Building Manager of your position. Alternatively, recognising that the Building Manager might not be in his office at this time, notify a friend or neighbour and ask them to advise the Building Manager or Fire Service officers on site. The Fire Service will make the call as to whether it is safe for you to stay in the apartment or they will arrange assistance for the evacuation of the mobility-impaired person.
Fire Hoses and Extinguishers
Fire hoses and extinguishers are located throughout our three towers, including on each residential floor. They are clearly signed and directions for use are clearly marked on the appliances. The fire extinguishers are the dry-powder variety.
For additional safety, it is recommended that each apartment is equipped with at least one smaller model carbon dioxide fire extinguisher and a fire blanket, located near each kitchen.
High Winds
The winds that whistle around our building come up very quickly and can cause significant damage.
It is not just plastic chairs and tables that take flight; heavy furniture also takes flight in times of very high winds. Damage to private property includes broken furniture, smashed roofs and pergolas and damage to common areas, including broken fences and broken glass in the pool. The likelihood of costs and damages to the resident arising from such incidents can be quite severe.
The Body Corporate impresses on you the importance of this matter and asks all lot owners and residents to take this real concern seriously when there are high wind warnings or when going away.
