Living Essentials

  • For peace of mind and safe-being residents are strongly urged to familiarise themselves with these important elements of living in Cammeray Square.

    Fire Safety & Smoke Detectors

    Only public and common area smoke detectors are linked to the fire brigade monitoring service. Smoke detectors inside apartments are not linked, therefore in the event of a fire within an apartment call ’000′ immediately.

    Note: Although apartment smoke alarms are mains-wired please ensure the back-up battery is changed every 12 months.

    Fire Alarms & Personal Safety

    From time to time fire alarms and evacutaion messages may sound throughout all buildings. Whether you believe this to be a real or false alarm for your personal safety you must follow the evacuation instructions using your nearest fire escape exit:

    1. When you hear the alarms and the message to “Evacuate the building” it is essential that you actually do so.
    2. Exit your building immediately via the nearest fire escape stairs. Do not use lifts!
    3. Go quickly to the assembly area at the corner of Miller and Rosalind Streets – south of Cammeray Square by the freeway.
    Emergency Services Access

    For peace of mind please note that the Emergency Services (Fire and Ambulance) have direct access to all lobbies and hallways.  Provision of emergency access arrangements  to individual apartments is a matter for each owner or resident.

    Electrical Power Failure

    In case of power failing in your apartment in the first instance please check your internal circuit breakers and appliances before contacting the Strata Manager or the BCS After Hours Emergency.  Naturally, if the fault lies within your apartment then you will need to call your own electrical contractor.

    Hot Water Service Interruption

    Should your hot water supply fail please contact the Strata Manager or the BCS After Hours Emergency directly.  Note that the hot water service to aparments is centrally supplied and is therefore not something you can fix yourself.  Note too that all hot water is pre-set to a maximum of 50℃.

    Lifts Care

    Lifts are expensive to service and maintain and impact strata levies significantly. It is critical that lift doors are not held open for too long or knocked by heavy objects. Lift Protectors must be used at all times when moving in or out or when moving any substantial items. Contact the Strata Manager for access to these.  See also  ‘Moving In/Out’ .

    Plumbing & Other Problems

    For any plumbing or other problems within your apartment please contact the recommended contractor who has
    a good knowledge of the building

    Common Property Faults or Problems

    For any problems relating to Common Property such as Lifts, Car Park, Pumps in Residents’ Car park, or anything else external to you apartment please contact the Strata Manager or the BCS After Hours Emergency.
