About Strata Living

Tide Residences is a strata scheme that is governed by the Qld government’s Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 and comes under the subordinate regulation of Body Corporate and Community Management (Accommodation Module) Regulation 2020. Strata schemes in Qld are required to have a Community Management Statement (CMS) registered with the Qld Land Registry, which includes details of the scheme and a list of bylaws that form part of the purchase or tenancy agreement. A list of the bylaws for Tide Residences are available on this website under ‘Resources/Downloads’. The CMS number for Tide Residences is #53430.

The body corporate committee is made up of volunteers who are elected by the body corporate every 12 months. The committee is supported by Archers Body Corporate Management Company to ensure that oversight of the operation of the scheme aligns with the legislation. The body corporate is made up of all lot owners and cannot be opted out of.

All owners and occupiers in a strata scheme have responsibilities greater than those of owning a detached house, and there is information about this on the Qld government’s website – a link is attached below for your convenience:

​Common Property

Common property includes all spaces outside the internal floor space of each home. Common property is managed by the site manager. Exclusive use areas are common property that is used and managed by the occupier.

Please respect the vegetation on common property, which has been chosen to meet our local Council’s environmental standards for the area.

Children on common property need to be under the supervision of a responsible adult at all times.

Exclusive Use Areas

Exclusive use areas are defined in the sale contract, and are usually bounded by fencing or concrete slabs such as driveways and patios.

Owners and residents are responsible for the general upkeep of these areas, including to keep the street appearance of their lot clean, tidy and in accord with the wider scheme. The body corporate is responsible for maintenance oversight such as end-of-life replacements.

An improvement request must be submitted for all changes to common property or exclusive use areas, where the change involves a fixture, e.g. installation of a garden shed, attaching a hose reel to a boundary wall, or installing/altering a garden (note: gardens that compromise drainage between lots are not permitted). An improvement request form is available from Archers website. A link is provided here for your convenience:

Parking

Each lot has a minimum of two parking spaces. Some have more and it is a resident’s responsibility to ensure that the number of vehicles they bring into the complex matches the number of parking spaces at their lot. Some residents use visitor spaces as their own and the body corporate tolerates this to some extent. The line is crossed, however, when vehicles are parking on grassed areas and roadways, because this causes damage to our property that all lot owners have to pay for to rectify, and creates safety concerns on our shared roadways.

A third party parking management company, PriPark, has been engaged to assist with keeping our complex safe and enjoyable for everyone who is lawfully on our site. Vehicles parking outside of designated parking bays, or resident vehicles parking at the visitor parking bays beside the recreation centre, will incur a fee.

Pool Opening Times

7:00am-9:00pm

For the safety of all users please abide by pool rules, which are listed on the pool gate.

Swimming outside pool opening hours will compromise the cleaning processes.

Recreation Centre

The recreation centre is available for all owners and occupiers to use. Bookings for the BBQs, tables/chairs and kitchenette/meeting room can be made via the link under the ‘Resources/Calendar’ tab. Please leave the centre in a clean and tidy state after your event, including the replacement of furniture to its original position and the removal of all decorations, to allow clear access for the next user. The site manager will maintain the area and deep clean BBQ’s as needed. A fee will be charged if excessive cleaning is required.

Speed Limit

10km/hr limit within the Tide Residences complex.

For the safety of all residents and visitors please strictly observe this limit.

Wildlife

A large section of the Tide Residences complex is bounded by a nature reserve and there are extensive plantings in common areas. These areas are attractive to local wildlife, including snakes and spiders. For the most part these creatures will move on of their own accord, however if a snake presents a danger to residents please contact Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 on 0408 545 440 for advice. Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers are authorised to remove snakes, at their discretion, and invoice the body corporate.

Snake bandages are stored in the Defibrillator Box outside the Recreation Centre, in the First Aid Box inside the meeting room, in the site manager’s office, and there is one on the site manager’s utility buggy.

The Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 website, thesnakecatcher.com.au, has a lot of useful information about snake identification and behaviours.
