ESTATE NEWS
From The
Estate Manager
Hello and welcome to our new homeowners. I trust that the new year has treated you well thus far and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you well for the new year. May 2021 be a safe and prosperous year for you and your families. With the holidays sadly behind us, the contractors have resumed operations in full force at the Estate. We’d like to request that homeowners ensure that your contractors familiarize themselves with the rules and guidelines of the Estate. They will be enforced stringently henceforth. You are welcome to contact the Estate office should you require any information. Stand owners are reminded that the verges of your property are your responsibility to maintain once you have completed developing your property, this includes the stormwater channels within those verges. We also request that the roads in front of your stands are swept regularly as there is lots of debris visible on the roads, especially after the rains. Construction stands need to ensure regular sweeping of the roads as the roads require much attention currently. There is an increasing number of pets that have been found either roaming the Estate or escaping their stands unaccompanied by owners. Owners must ensure that fencing is adequate to secure your pets within your properties and to take the necessary precautions when entering and exiting your property. Pet owners are also required to clean up after their pets especially when they defecate on the common area. Stands are reminded that pets need to have identification tags on their collars. Let your pet not be a bone of contention between you, your neighbours, and other owners, residents, or visitors. The board of directors shall have the right to prohibit, restrict and control the keeping or removal of any pet which they regard as dangerous or a nuisance to other residents of the Estate.
