25.01.2022 I have just received notification that todays works have been completed and the garage is now available for us to use.

25.01.2022 Hi all, Just a reminder the carpets are being cleaned this morning. (no need to worry about walking on them) Also the cameras are up and working!... So, on a serious note, we need to monitor unnecessary and thoughtless mess. This includes, dog accidents, muddy shoes, leaking rubbish and any unknown mess in the lift. Fines are going to start to be enforced. Hopefully there wont be many ??? :-) This is our home. Thank you.

24.01.2022 Hi all :-) Just an update on a few FORE items ! Cameras are being installed tomorrow on all floors. Hopefully this will elevate carpet accidents, as fines will be incurred in the future.... New carpets will be fitted early next year, but in the interim they are being cleaned in the next week or so. Large tree is being cut down at the back next Thursday. New emergency Fob for the car stackers is arriving Thursday. Notices will be put on the wall to advise of numbers to call in an emergency. Thanks

23.01.2022 Greetings from the FORE Owners Corporation. Its been a while I know, but lots of things have been happening so heres a list of all the recent events at the building: The Atrium waterproofing is nearly finished. Unfortunately the plants couldnt be replanted as it would be very expensive but we will put some pot plants there when its finished. Railway night work is finishing on the 6th of March. Hopefully everyone that chose to be relocated was happy with the temporar...y move. We have a maintenance Man checking the building for defects. The door in the foyer, leading to the car park, is not shutting and swinging loosely. This is being looked at. The unreliable front door buzzer has become quite important now. Without a fob it is nearly impossible to get in using the numbers. Most of them are stuck in. This is getting fixed ASAP. There is a lot more graffiti on our building. It was discussed to get it repainted, but by someone who does professional art, as just painting it normally will attract others to mark the wall again. This is being looked into with the Council. The notice board has been installed and is available for residents to place notices of interest to fellow residents. Neighbourhood Drinks will be taking place at the Squires Loft Happy Hour from 5pm on Friday the 13th of March.

I have been informed by NBN .......................................... ......Our construction team have advised that whilst there are currently outages occurring in your area, this particular site has been connected to the network which was live at the time of testing so there should not be any issues.

If you continue to have issues with your service providers mentioning the area is not yet connected you will need to inform that this specific property is connected but that others in the area are not yet.

23.01.2022 Just an update on the Atrium. Unfortunately there is a major leak in the flower bed, that is being fixed in the next few weeks. The atrium will be dug out and sealed. To save the plants we have re potted as many as possible. Kind regards, The Committee.

19.01.2022 **Garage door update** Sorry for any confusion today, we were unaware that there would be any issues with access to the garage today. I can confirm that the major works will be taking place tomorrow from 7:30am. We suggest that all cars are out by 7am as once work starts there will be no access. The electrician will be attending on Thursday to program the system to the remotes. If they are successful then we will not need to reprogram the remotes. If this is the case, the doo...r will be closed on Thursday. Please make sure you take your remotes with you when you leave for work or outings. If they are unable to program the system to the remotes the door will remain open and we will notify you of when the remotes will need to be reprogrammed. Please note that I do try to update as soon as I can and respond to all messages. I do work full time and dont have access to facebook till after hours. I will endeavour to respond asap but please if you have an emergency please contact MTB on 9909 7300.

15.01.2022 Hi all. Happy new year I just wanted to let you all know that a youth has been seen walking round the back near the garage door for days. Captured on surveillance camera. ... Then he was seen climbing onto the fence and gate, in the fenced off area at the end of the building, and into my balcony. Very scary, as never thought anyone could get up there. !!! But he could get to neighbouring balcony’s from mine. I have told the police. And I have lots of footage. So once I get a screen shot of his face I will post. Pls be careful when entering and leaving via the garage that no stranger enters. Chris See more

06.01.2022 Hi all, Very short notice - but have been advised by the railway workers that they are closing the road up to our front door, as they are closing the railway crossing as well. So entry to our building will have to be via the back garage door.

06.01.2022 Please note. NO bikes are to be parked in the foyer. Bikes area to be parked in the allocated spots only. Bikes need to be removed asap to the carpark area.

05.01.2022 Come and meet your neighbours !

04.01.2022 THE FORE Dear Residents, Thought you might be interested in a few housekeeping items, so you are aware issues are being addressed.... Front Door Entrance Panel This is in the process of being replaced due to wear and tear. Security Cameras For those of you that are unaware, over Christmas the hardware for the security cameras was stolen. New hardware has been installed in a more secure location and the system is now operational again. Cleaners The old cleaners have gone. New clearers have been assigned. Place is looking much better Doors The rear entry door has had additional security added to help avoid break-ins. The emergency exit door at the rear of the property is no longer being propped open by residents, and this is also helping with security. Hard Rubbish Hard rubbish became out of control. It has now all been collected. Signs have been put up. Fines for cost of hard rubbish removal will be enforced if people are seen to be dumping hard rubbish. Rubbish Bin inside front door A bin has been placed in the foyer, please discard any unwanted flyers there. The Car Stacker Klaus has drawn up a list of actions to follow in the event of a gate being left open. The actions have been complicated due to the repeated theft of the communal remote control that operates the gates. Flyers are now displayed on the gates for further information. Please note that a charge will be made for each call-out to Klaus, and this will be charged to the offending unit. Foxtell Did you know that The Fore is now Foxtell ready? All you have to do is contact Foxtell to get connected. ***Please note that the Committee is run by owner occupiers at The Fore in their own time to help communication with the Body Corporate***

03.01.2022 **Please Note** Bikes are not to be parked under the stairs. This is a trip hazard and stops the cleaners from doing their job. Property left in common area will be removed at the owners cost.

03.01.2022 Please see note below. Going to be very busy and noisy on the 22nd May for a few months.

02.01.2022 Worked on the atrium today . Wont be able to move tomorrow. Lol. Repotted and added some colour. Spring on the way.

02.01.2022 Hi there, The Railway have informed me that from August 11 to 14, they are planning to install four lights on the pathway between Charman Rd / Stanley Ave. For safety reasons, they need to complete this work overnight when trains are not running. We may notice some short-term noise / worker activity between 1am and 5am on these days.... Thank you

02.01.2022 Hi all. I Have been informed. ...... Due to level crossing upgrade works on Charman Road, Cheltenham, The NBN connection to your property at 278 Charman Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192 need to be relocated underground. This will involve works on the outside of the property only, no access will be required

01.01.2022 The garage door is working! Even better they were able to program the system to what we already had so your remotes should all work! I have returned any that were handed in.
