Community Presentation

Compliance with the registered Owners Corporation (OC) rules is essential for maintaining safety and harmony within the community.

Adherence to these regulations ensures that all residents can enjoy their living spaces without disruption or interference on the rights of others. Additionally, it helps uphold property values and contributes to overall well-being of the community.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to residents who diligently maintain the Armstrong Mt Duneed Community, especially through the upkeep of your properties, including the nature strips and front yard landscaping.

Your efforts contribute significantly to the beauty and charm of our neighborhood.

As we strive to maintain the pristine appearance of our community, we kindly remind all residents of the following:

• Landscaping Maintenance: We encourage all residents to ensure your front yards are kept free of weeds and well maintained in a neat and tidy manner. As part of the Owners Corporation, owners/residents are responsible for ensuring yards are consistently maintained. Please review any non compliance notices you may have received and promptly attend to rectify within the specified timeframe to address appearance issues on your lot.

• Rubbish Accumulation & Disposal: Correctly disposing of rubbish is paramount for maintaining a clean, safe, and harmonious environment. Let's work together to keep our areas tidy and free from rubbish, ensuring a pleasant environment for all to enjoy.

Below are some statistics for the month of June:

Has Your Property Changed Hands?

If you are receiving this communication but no longer own a property within the Owners Corporation of Armstrong Mt Duneed, we kindly ask that you liaise with your conveyancer or solicitor to provide our office with a Notice of Disposition (NOD).

This will enable us to update our records promptly and ensure all information is directed to the correct property owner.

Please send the Notice of Disposition to armstrong@quantumunited.com.au. As always, thank you for your cooperation.

Never Miss a Due Date Again!​

Simplify your life—set it and forget with Macquarie’s Direct Debit

Did you know that your OC fees can be deducted automatically on the due date via the direct debit facility that is now available through the Macquarie DEFT platform?​

Many lot owners have already taken advantage of this 'set and forget' facility where fees are automatically deducted from your nominated bank account on the scheduled date, ensuring timely payment which gives you the peace of mind to focus on other things, without the hassle of worrying about forgetting to pay by certain due dates.

If this is something that you would like to set up moving forward, please send us an email at delaray@quantumunited.com.au and we can arrange to have a unique invitation for your lot to be sent to you via the Macquarie Deft Platform.

Once your Direct Debit has been set up with Macquarie Bank's DEFT Payment System, there will be no more forms to complete, no more cheques to write, no more postage charges to pay and no more standing in queues to make payments.

While members are under no obligation to set up direct debit facility, we encourage you to take this opportunity to simplify your payment arrangements.

If you choose the direct debit facility, you will still continue to receive fee notices via your preferred delivery method, however, the fee amount will automatically be debited from your nominated account on the due date noted on your fee notice.

Frequently Asked Questions from Lot Owners

Will my direct debit amount update if my fee amount changes?

Yes, once registered, the Macquarie DEFT system will be synced with the Owners Corporation lot account. Any changes to your fee amount will automatically update your direct debit amount, ensuring accurate and seamless payments.

What happens to my direct debit if I sell my property?

Your account will no longer be debited once your property sale is processed. The Macquarie DEFT system is directly linked to the Owners Corporation database and will deactivate the direct debit for your lot when ownership details are updated.
