A few years back we warned you about these flexible braided hoses – many people listened and replaced them.

Some people did nothing and we had another flood recently

The Age back in 2017 said “Flexible braided hoses accounted for more than one in five water damage claims lodged by Australian households in 2016, according to new research released by general insurer IAG.”

A couple of people have reported getting more strange emails and texts in the last week. It may be coincidence or it may be related to the letterbox theft.

Be careful

Here is the Government site that has some tips

From CYP…

Acoustic shed disassembly

Next week work will continue on disassembly of the acoustic shed, with roof panels and southern wall panels coming down.

Next week, the gantry crane that sits within the acoustic shed, and fed all of the concrete tunnel segments down to the TBMs during tunnelling, will be removed.

You might have seen that yesterday a large crane was placed outside the northern end of the acoustic shed.

Now that this crane is assembled, it will lift the gantry crane pieces onto waiting trucks to be removed from site. The crane pieces will be removed by truck over three nights from Monday 31 January. Due to the size of the trucks removing the gantry crane from site, they will leave site between midnight and 4.00am. Crews will be reminded of requirements around reversing beepers and noise mitigation ahead of these truck movements. This will be a similar method to how pieces of the TBMs were removed from site last year.

Please don’t put stuff out until 24 hours before

Paul can probably assist if you ask nicely

Last night around 930pm, two women buzzed multiple apartments via the intercom.

They were let in and spent around 20 minutes going through the letterboxes. They then checked out the cars in the ground floor car park. They found one car unlocked and rifled through that. The owner has confirmed that they would have been disappointed.

Australia Post and the Police are being notified.

Please do not let people in if you do not know them

You can see from this shot that they took a LOT of mail – their bag is very full

Here is a seven minute video clip – you may be able to check your letterbox in this clip.

Good news, see attached

Slightly sped up, rain starts at about 18:00

The positive case has been told by the Health Dept that they are now all clear.

Thanks all but stay vigilant

We have had a resident test positive, they are quarantining in their apartment.

Please wear a mask in all common areas and be vigilant of symptoms

This service is now available to all residents.

It is free for up to two people per apartment, additional users will cost $15 pa.

It works on doors, roller doors and in the lifts. I’d encourage everyone to give it a try. The old fobs will all still work as before.

Paul simply needs your email address.

Here is a short video explaining how it works.
