Should additional keys be required, these be obtained at a cost of $40 (limit per apartment).Please contact building management to obtain an additional keys request form or download it from the forms section of this website.
Connecting Electricity
Your service provider should have a record of your electricity meter numbers when you provide them your address. You are free to connect to a utility provider of your choice and this must be done on taking up residency at the building. The electrical meters are located in the main switch board room/MDF room located next on level 3 west side, it can only be accessed by building management or the meter readers.
On occupying the apartment you may need to turn on the electricity using the switchboard in your apartment located in a cupboard in your kitchen.
No Electricity
If there is no electricity in your apartment, or part of your apartment, most likely a circuit breaker has tripped. There is a switchboard in the apartment that contains all circuit breakers, it is usually located in a storage cupboard or your kitchen.
As a short has most likely tripped the breaker it is best to turn off all power outlets, appliances and lights, go to your switchboard and then reset the circuit breaker by turning it back to on. If you turn a light or use a power point and the breaker trips again, this is the cause of the short and the appliance should not be used further or an electrician should be called.
Should there be no electricity in your apartment and no breakers are tripped, please contact building management, unless it is an issue with the area in which case you will need to wait for power to be reinstated.
Phone & Internet
Residents will need to contact a service provider to set up an account for internet & telephone services. The service provider may need access to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF), which is located on level 3 in the building. The contractors should have a key to access this area but you will need to let them into the building.
