CONDUCT IN KENSINGTON PARK

 

1. Considerate behaviour: Each Member will make no noxious, noisy, improper, offensive or unlaw1ul use of any Property or the Common Facilities, and will use their Property and the Common Facilities only for the purposes for which they were designed. No Member will undertake any activity which is or may become a nuisance, cause unreasonable  embarrassment, disturbance or annoyance to the other Members or Member's Guests in the  use and enjoyment of their Properties and the Common Facilities as assessed by the Manager, the Committee, or appointed sub-committee

2. Supporting Serenity: In order to be considerate of other Members' peace in the community,  any activities on a Member's Property which will or are reasonably likely to cause excessive noise should be limited to before 10 pm (Sunday to Thursday) and midnight (Friday and Saturday). To consider the serenity of other members, social gatherings exceeding these times should be occasional in nature. In the event of any unavoidable noise in a Property, at any time, the Member will take all practical means to minimise annoyance of the neighbours by closing all doors, windows and curtains of the Property and also such further steps as may be within the Member's power for the same purpose. Common Facilities may be used for private functions with the express approval of the Manager. This Bylaw exists to prevent the need for neighbours having to call out noise control officers employed by local councils, law enforcement officers, and/or enter into disputes with each other.

3. Vehicle repairs: When undertaking any vehicle or mechanical repairs, these must be self-contained within the garage. The member shall take all necessary safety precautions to mitigate the risk of danger to themselves, other members, or property.

11.
