The apartments are offered on a strata title, and will be managed by a Body Corporate. The Body Corporate will look after the common areas, the lift, guards and security cameras and access controls, gardeners and grounds, cleaners, pool maintenance, and tennis court maintenance.
A sinking fund has been established to take care of the longer-term replacement of all major maintenance and refurbishment issues (such as repainting, replacement of pool pumps, tennis court surface etc). In this way, the apartment complex will be in an ‘as new’ condition for many years to come, and will avoid the syndrome of many such complexes that ‘look tired’ due to lack of good maintenance.
By-laws control the running of the facility to ensure that
residents enjoy a high standard of peaceful tranquil living.
Amongst other things, the by-laws control alternations to
and use of the exterior of the building. Staff are not permitted
access to various areas unless for essential maintenance.
Pets are not generally allowed in the complex. The level
of noise in and around the pool and tennis court is restricted
during certain hours. Visitors and guests are only allowed
to use the common facilities if accompanied by a resident.
A body corporate meeting will be held annually and more frequently if required.
Body corporate fees payable by apartment owners are payable quarterly. Body corporate charges will be set at a reasonable level and are expected to be less than the cost of running an average 3-bedroom house in Port Vila with a swimming pool and garden.
