Lived here for 8 years, probably 7 years too long. Live in the Alamanda Estate, which when l moved in was and still is charging over $900 a year body corporate fees.
This fee was for the funding of the community centre, which included the use of the gym, pool and tennis courts, to financially support the Alamanda cafe, cover the cost of the estate security and pay for the maintenance of the estate. The amazing thing for a number of years, is that people who had no association with Alamanda estate, so paid no corporate body fee, were using the gym, pool and tennis courts because friends, who were residents, were letting them use their access cards to get into the facilities!! Finally this has changed, with now finger print technology used to let you into the facilities now, many years too late.
Also now the estate security is no more, and the estate now looks like government housing in some parts because we have next to no maintenance done in the estate. Currently we have over hanging trees on nature strips, graffiti sprawled across fences, street drains clogged with tree branches and leaves, the list goes on. Strangely enough we are still getting charged over $900 per year, yet we have less services, a joke!, thanks to
OWNERS CORPORATION MANAGER - MICM.....w**kers!
Also the place is a wind tunnel, it won't be a breath of wind in anyother suburb, yet here it will be blowing a gale, majority of the time...
Thank god now l can afford to move, and can't wait to get back to the east....
