All residents welcome

Please email Margaret on knurekmusic@gmail.com or let Reeve know.

I have spoken to the relevant people at City of Port Phillip about out of hours deliveries and early morning starts.

Their approved hours of work are

• Monday – Friday 7am – 6pm

• Saturday 9am – 5pm

• Sunday – no work

There should be nothing delivered out of hours.

You can ring the City of Port Phillip during the ‘out of hours’ times if necessary and follow the ’emergency’ prompt. They will then despatch some as soon as possible.

If not urgent – take photos / videos and report via CoPP web site.

The water service will be undergoing backflow testing tomorrow Friday 7th for 15-20 minutes.

Water will be shut off to all levels while these works take place.

Expected time frame is between 10:30am – 11am

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.

It seems one lift is stuck at the basement level…please be patient

Some of you noticed that there seemed to be some noise from the vents/chillers during the recent hot days,

Jan hassled them and managed to get this reply

Hi Jan

We recently had a ‘tunnel blockade’, which means we stop train testing to allow workforce to access the tunnels to complete minor rectification works.
Due to this, the tunnel ventilation, over-track ventilation fans and chiller plant were all operating (at high capacity due to the heat) to provide fresh air to workforce in the tunnels and to cool the station.

Ventilation systems will not operate over the shutdown, which is until 14 January (CYP staff will return on 6 January). The chiller plant will continue to operate as required.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards, Dan

It has taken all this time to get them released. Please do not distribute further
