Chocking Doors There have been a number of doors found damaged around MB. The cause of this damage seems to be chocking doors open. This is putting pressure on the lower part of the door, warping the door and tearing the hinges from the timber.

The cost of replacing a door and frame can be in excess of $1,000.

Due to this damage, any studio/shared apartment/unit where the doors are found to be damaged due to chocking the door open will be responsible for paying the replacement cost.

If you wish to keep your apartment secure and do not wish to be charged for replacing a door, please do not chock the door open at any time.

Please carry your swipe card with you at all times to avoid chocking the door.

Emptying Your Rubbish Regularly If the rubbish and recycling in your apartment is getting full, please do not wait until the cleaners next visit.

Please take responsibility for the cleanliness of your own apartment by disposing of rubbish/recycling yourself in the appropriate chutes on your level.

Rubbish Dumped at Chutes Under no circumstances should rubbish or recycling ever be left on the floor underneath the chutes on any level at MB. If your rubbish is too big to fit in the chute, please bring it down to reception and our staff member can give you direct access to the bin room.

Leaving rubbish in front of the chutes is unhygienic and creates an unpleasant smell in the corridors.

Please be respectful to other residents and do not leave rubbish in front of the bin chutes.
