Tower Lobby Door
(Torrens St) You will
finally see lobby door repair
work from 11 Jul. The
current mechanical ‘drop
bolt’ door will be replaced by
a one-way magnetic lock
(same as other side), to
improve security, ensure
opening in one direction
only, and to simplify access.
This is a nil-cost repair for
us after successful
discussions between your
committee and the builders.
Parking and Traffic
Review To improve
vehicle traffic flow and
parking availability for all,
your committee has started
a review and drafted a
Terms of Reference. The
review includes guest
parking spaces (on and off
site); and delivery, removals
and trades’ parking. It will
also consider options for
forcible towing (as a last
resort) when residents or
guests do not follow rules
that exist to be fair to all. We
will shortly seek your input
into the review’s aims.

• No plastic bags can be recycled. The bags are too soft, and jam recycling machinery.
Empty your plastic bags of recyclables and throw your bag in the general rubbish. Or,
local supermarkets usually have a ‘bag recycling’ box.
• The Tower rubbish chute is not for glass. Bagged or loose, it breaks, spreading in the
rubbish room, making it dangerous for all. Also, glass dropped in the chute creates
unwanted noise and may damage the chute. Please walk glass downstairs for the bin.
