Moving-in & Delivery of Large Items

Residents moving-in or having large items delivered are requested to book their move with building management at least 48 hours prior to the move so that it can be co-ordinated with other residents. Please see the moving instructions available in the ‘Forms & Procedures’ section of this website.

Residents are reminded that items are not to be moved via the main entrance lobby and must go through the car park level.

Electricity & Gas

Residents will need to contact an electricity and gas service provider on moving into the building to set up an account for their electricity and gas supply.

Generally the utility provider will have a record of your meter number and may visit site to conduct a meter reading. If you need to provide this information yourself electricity meters are located on every second level (levels 2/4/6/7).

If you experience a loss of electricity to your apartment the circuit breaker in your apartment may have tripped. The switchboard for the circuit breaker is generally located in a cupboard in your apartment, generally either a kitchen, laundry or linen cupboard. There is also a main circuit breaker next to your electricity meter that may need to be checked should there not be any issues with your apartment switchboard.

Gas meters are grey in colour and should be located inside the apartments under a corner cupboard in the kitchen. Individual stop valves to turn on/off the gas to your apartment can be found in the same location.

Connecting your telephone & internet

Residents will need to contact a service provider to set up an account for internet & telephone services. The service provider may need access to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF), which is located in the visitors car parking area along the wall on the north side. Most telecommunication service technicians will have access to this door using an Abbloy key which is a general telecommunications cupboard key. If they do not have access to this cupboard, please have them contact Building Management during onsite hours.

If you need to provide this information yourself the hot water meter is located inside the apartment generally under the kitchen sink or in the laundry.
