ACTING vs REACTING.
During conflict, someone who ACTS, is someone who keeps in mind their previously chosen goals and ethics and does not let someone else’s aggression influence the way they behave.
The person who REACTS is the person who lets their insecurities and fears dictate their behaviour, often resulting in angry and offensive outbursts.
At home, in the community and in the workplace, how can ACTING rather than REACTING in the workplace help you do a better job?

An EFFECTIVE committee member is mature, honest, has a desire to contribute positively to the community, acts with fairness and confidentiality, is diplomatic and has a willingness to familiarise themselves with the BCCM Act.

A person is ELIGIBLE to be a voting member of the committee if they are a member of the body corporate.
OR
if they have been nominated by an individual in the body corporate, they must be a family member of that individual or have a power of attorney for that individual.
if the nominating entity is a corporation, they must be a director, secretary, or another nominee of the corporation.
if the nominating entity is the body corporate for a subsidiary scheme in a layered arrangement of community title schemes, they must be a representative of the subsidiary scheme.

How can we stop speeding and reckless driving within a strata scheme?
A body corporate may erect speed signs on common property, but these would only suggest desired speeds, and would not be strictly enforceable.
But if the driving behaviour of someone could be dangerous or an unreasonable interference to the lawful use of the common property, that activity would be in breach of the Act.
If the driving behaviour interfered with others’ use or enjoyment of common property, or represents a nuisance or hazard, that would also be in breach.
If the body corporate receives a health and safety report that recommends the enforcement of a speed limit, it could include a speed-limit in the by-laws and therefore, a speed limit would be an enforceable by-law.
A body corporate may choose to install speed bumps to reduce speeding.
How can you prove someone is speeding?
In absence of a radar gun, video footage backed up by repeated witness reports may be enough.

PARTIES AND UNRULY BEHAVIOUR
Most of us want quiet enjoyment of our properties, but are we entitled to it at all times? Unfortunately, the right to peace and quiet 24/7 is a misconception and unrealistic. We must be willing to adopt a ‘give and take’ approach if we’re going to be fair to everybody.
Ordinary living will cause inconvenience to neighbours at times, there’s no law against that, but the law does prevent residents using their lot or common property in a way that causes a nuisance or interfering unreasonably with others.
What is unreasonable? A good rule of thumb is that if most neighbours agree a resident is being a nuisance, it’s probably true.
So what can you do?
1. If noise carries on until late into the night or there is concern for damage to property or people - call the police.
2. Document the details: who, what, when and where, every time it happens. Create an ongoing record.
3. Body corporates cannot evict an unruly occupier, but they can adopt by-laws that give them more tools to address the issue. This can include a by-law requiring owners to take steps to ensure their tenant complies with the by-laws by issuing notices to remedy breaches or ending the tenancy.
We all have a responsibility to make strata living work. By all means, enjoy your music, have friends around and enjoy yourself, but be reasonable about volume, when you do it, where you do it and how long you do it for. Most people can tolerate a bit of noise when it’s done respectfully.

Water damage is a common problem during wet-weather events. Landlords might question whose insurance should cover the claim. Is the Body Corporate responsible for loss of rent during repairs?

Landlords have two policy options for loss of rent cover - Landlords Content Insurance and Strata Insurance.

Landlords Contents Insurance covers loss of rent when there is damage to the home contents, making the property uninhabitable. For example, hoarding or extreme neglect by the tenant, removal of hazardous waste or replacement of fittings.

Loss of rent cover under a strata building applies when the building is damaged structurally and because of a claimable event making the property uninhabitable. With water damage to ceilings and walls, the strata insurance policy should be considered for loss of rent claims.

As this wild weather system persists, and the likelihood of major flooding increases, we wish to encourage all our valued members of the Rive community to take care, especially when driving.
Driving safely means:
* checking if flooding is likely and planning ahead.
* obeying road closure signs
* when floodwater starts to go down, don’t drive over the roads until the road is open again.
* driving carefully on roads that have been reopened.
* looking out for landslides.

Please refer to the Bureau of Meteorology for more detailed information and STAY SAFE!

Hang on to your hats, Queensland, and prepare to get soaked as the threat of La Nina and a damaging, and potentially dangerous storm season, brews over our state.

Strata living presents its own unique challenges during the storm season, and with potentially 1.2 million people choosing this kind of accommodation, it is wise to minimise the risk through storm preparedness.

Five things you can do to prepare:
• Contact your BC or property manager to see if there are maintenance issues to attend to.
• Know and understand evacuation procedures for your building.
• Check the flood map and storm information supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology.
• Secure any objects that are not part of the building, i.e., BBQs, tables, chairs, and plants.
• Make a note of potential hazards on or near your property, such as trees or blocked drains.

Do you really need your ON-SITE property manager?

Your property manager is integral to the smooth running of your building and let me tell you why.
He liaises with the Body Corporate Committee by:
• Attending Body Corporate Committee meetings
• Giving a report of activities and issues that have occurred.
• Requests for any maintenance required that needs approval.
• Reporting the completion of works requested.
They are on-site to attend to issues as they arise. Problems are dealt with quickly and painlessly.
They can keep a check on unwanted guests and tradespeople on the premises after hours.
They carry out maintenance, letting, rental collection, breach notices and inspections so that you can focus your energy on living.
Shout out to all the great ON-SITE property managers out there!

Visitor parking- what are the rules?
In a nutshell, visitor car parks are for visitors to the complex. There are no conditions where a resident can park there unless they are a non-resident lot owner who is visiting for the day.
Visitors are free to use the parking spots but should be mindful of the length of their stay and considerate of other visitors' needs.

High density living demands cooperation and courtesy for it to work well. Smoking is an issue of particular sensitivity. While every resident has the right to smoke on their lot without judgement or penalty, it is helpful to consider the comfort and wellbeing of your neighbour.
Smokers, you can be considerate without giving up your right to smoke.
Non-smokers, try talking to your neighbour before getting angry. They may be unaware they are bothering you.
See if there is a way that both parties needs can be met.
Kindness and communication is the key.

In 2020, over 7.5 million Australians between the ages of 15 and 70 regularly took part in fitness or gym activities.
That’s why we’re so proud of our gym here at Rive Apartments.
What are the benefits of using our gym?
Obviously, your health is your greatest asset and worth the effort.
A gym offers convenience. How lovely to jump out of bed and walk just a few minutes to the gym. Afterwards, you have the comfort and convenience of your own private bathroom to freshen up in. And there’s no need to brave the heat, rain or cold to get there either! To top it off, you get to meet and motivate other Rive residents, strengthening our community relationships.

Owners who wish to renovate or make modifications to their lot may be restricted by various laws and regulations, e.g., the involvement of common property, building by-laws and fire safety legislations.
So, before making changes to your property, do your homework first. You'll save yourself disappointment and potential conflict with your Body Corp.
