In light of recent elevator issues, this is a reminder to please take care when using the elevators, especially for transporting bulky items.

If you need to hold the elevator open, please us the open-door button rather than holding the doors open manually. This can cause the closing mechanism to disengage as a safety precaution and may allow the inner and outer doors to fall out of sync.

Residents may be accountable for repair fees incurred through misuse of the elevators.

For extended elevator use, remember to contact BM for bookings at least 2 days in advance.

A message on behalf of apt 305:

There will be a free fridge available on Feb 14th

Westinghouse Silhouette Frost free 412

If you are interested, please contact Veronica at 0418 311 480 to organise.

The committee was delighted with the number of residents who were able to attend the evening at FLO on the 19 November . We had a brief presentation from CYP re the chiller plants  and followed this with drinks and nibbles which was a terrific opportunity to catch up with each other and to meet new residents.

We intend to build on this with another evening in early February and hope those who were unable to attend can join us.

The Committee wished you all a safe and happy Christmas season

Works on the valve upgrades are proving more time consuming than expected.

Tomorrow L2 will be finished in the morning and reaching L3 in the afternoon.

Further floors will be updated as the works progress

Dear Residents,

Today marks my last day as the concierge of our building, and I wanted to take a moment to send you a little note.

It has been a true pleasure to meet you all and to have the opportunity to be part of this community, even for a short time. I have enjoyed every interaction, and I hope I was able to contribute to making your daily life a little more pleasant.

I wish you all the very best for the future and will cherish the wonderful memories of my time here.

Thank you again for your warm welcome!

Best regards,
Mouad
