Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for issues with the drains on our property, or sewage smells etc?

Any issues on the property itself is the responsibility of the property Owner. An Owner owns their house and the footpath that wraps immediately around their building, unless it is a shared public footpath. For apartments, such footpaths have shared ownership. If there is an issue with a drain on the common area only, please contact the Administrator by email or mobile. We cannot take an action relating to your own property.
