Dear Owners, Managing Agents,

Further to our last email about the nature strip maintenance, our current gardener, who experienced a breakdown of his mower due to rocks and metal items found at the nature strips. Despite efforts to repair their equipment promptly, the delay in resolving the issue has prompted the committee to engage a new mowing company to address the situation promptly.

The new gardener is commencing nature strip mowing as of yesterday, but there are important considerations for all residents to be aware of:


No Parking on Nature Strips: The gardener will not commence the job if there are any cars parked at the nature strips. This is to ensure safe and efficient maintenance.

No Hard Rubbish or Metal Items: Residents are kindly requested not to place any hard rubbish or metal items on the nature strips. In the event such items are present, residents are responsible for maintaining the nature strips by themselves.

It is crucial to highlight that the nature strips are council property, and every resident has a responsibility to contribute to their maintenance. The gardener will capture images of any non-compliant areas and forward them to the compliance team. Subsequently, this information will be shared with the council, and residents may potentially face fines from the council, for which they will be held responsible.

We appreciate your cooperation and compliance with the guidelines outlined above. Your proactive adherence to these guidelines will be much appreciated.

Thank you for representing the Owners Corporation (OC) of Moorookyle Estate. While we appreciate you for volunteering your times and efforts for the estate, however regretfully your activities give us a general feeling that they are not for the benefit for the OC. It is unfortunate to see how littl...

Dear lot owners,
it has come to our attention that the current committee has recently contemplate to spread hateful, misleading and false propaganda against us who are attempting to convene the SGM according to the OC act rule 74 (c) to terminate the contract with Quantum and address the issues created by the current committee. They are sending mails by post to all lot owners to safeguard their vested interest at the cost of lot owners' hard-earned money, which is completely unethical. We will address their false malice propaganda soon.

FYI, A letter has sent out to all lot owners for the SGM held on 07-04-2020 at 5:00 PM at Moorookyle, 2-16 Edmund drive, and an email was forwarded to Quantum to send an email to the owners on behalf of the nominated person with the SGM notice.

Kind regards

Respected Lot Owners of Moorookyle Estate, Greetings.

We, a group of conscious lot owners would like to reach out you through this communiqué to highlight some of the disturbing development that has happened in our estate over the last 12 months or so for which we are truly concerned. Perhaps you are aware that most of us had been part of the Moorookyle owners Corporation Committee since 2012. If you have been one of the lot owners prior to 2012, you may recall that we had a management named "Community living" who didn't do their job properly and charged a lot of money from the Owners corporation. There was no transparency. Overall the estate was struggling to offer a better lifestyle for its residents. To prevent the gloomy outlook and uplift the standard of the estate a group of lot owners came forward and worked really hard for the last 10-12 years. They dedicated all their hard works, times, efforts and passions for the betterment of the estate. Their goal was “REDUCE THE COST AND IMPROVE THE LIVING STANDARD OF THE ESTATE INCLUDING OFFERING A STATE OF ART CLUBHOUSE, AND INCREASE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE ESTATE”. Which is why they had called a Special General Meeting (SGM) and changed the then management and saved a big chunk of money of the Owners Corporation (OC). The transparency level was maintained at 100% throughout the process. We feel privileged to be part of that committee and learned how to contribute as effective committee members in an OC. Every year that elected committee reviewed the management contract and evaluated the performance of the manager of the OC.

Unfortunately things have started changing dramatically as soon as the current OC Committee took over last year.

The current committee changed the previous management (ACE) and made the agreement with the current management (Quantum) to manage the estate for four years. As a result we are paying $156,032.00 ‪till Jun 30 2021‬, then $163,032.00 per annum for the remainder of the term. The current committee changed most of the previous contractors and increased the expenditures. If this trend is allowed to continue, our expenditures will be increased around $100,000.00 during the 4 year tenure of this management. Moreover the quality, cleanliness, safety and security of the clubhouse have dropped to an alarming level. The clubhouse is rapidly becoming family-unfriendly due to lack of security and some recent safety related incidents. Police came to the clubhouse on a number of occasions. Dear residents, in order to prevent all these catastrophic developments in our estate, a group of conscious owners have come forward once again aiming to call for a Special General Meeting (SGM) and raise our voice to stop any further damage to our estate. The SGM will be called according to the OC act rule 74 (c). We hereby seek your support.

For further information please feel free to call Peter - 0412 500 232, Tony - 0401 442 424, Mohammed- 0430912787, Jalal - 0433 814 221, Dr. Saif- 0423 739 440, Tiger- 0406 422 907 , Tanuj- 0449 163 649, Vijay- 0424 638 609, Ajaj-0403 414 494 and Sam- 0432 391 051.

Please lend your support to a worthy cause and save your very own estate from falling apart.

Kind Regards,
A Group of Conscious Owners

Do you remember that We had a contractor who used to maintain the nature strips at a very cost-effective rate @ 6.00 per lot with edging. Quantum indicated that the committee was looking to initiate a contractor to carry out maintenance of the nature strips. Can you please ask the committee ([email protected]) or Quantum ([email protected])

** Why has committee stopped the service provided by previous contractor?

** How much are we paying now per lot to the new contractor?

** Why is the new contractor not doing the edging?

Do you know that Moorookyle OC is following the July-June financial year and we already saved money for the last financial year due to the closure of the clubhouse. Why is committee/quantum not tacking initiative to refund money to each lot as a lump sum credit and working to reduce the Levy for July 20- June 21. We are under the impression that the levy has to be reduced for that period (20/21) as Quantum hasn’t done any noticeable activities due to COVID -19 lockdown. For your information, our neighbour estate (Club Heartland) already waived their last quarterly Levy to provide some financial relief to their lot owners. Quantum was their managing agent and ran the recent AGM, though the committee (Heartland) changed quantum and appointed a new management. They are lucky as they have new management in place and the Committee is working for the lot owner’s interest.

We argue that Quantum and the committee should refund lamp sum credit to each lot and reduce the levy for 20/21.

People are likely to travel less for work in the future due to an increase in working from home, new modelling suggests, raising questions about the need for big transport projects.
