Approved Occupants
There appears to be some confusion circulating throughout the community in relation to the approval requirements
which a tenant must seek for authorising visitors, family or friends who wish to stay in Newlands subsidised family
accommodation.
There is nothing in your Tenancy Agreement that restricts you from having family and friends visiting or holidaying
with you on a short term basis, subject to compliance with your General Tenancy Agreement. However, should
you wish to have family or friends reside with you at the property, for a period of time which exceeds three (3)
months duration, you must seek written authorisation from the Town Services Office.
A tenant is not permitted to take on boarders or to allow any person or persons to reside in Newlands subsidised
accommodation on a permanent basis, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Town Services Office.
Caravans and Campervans are permitted to stay at the property for periods not exceeding one (1) month duration,
for the purpose of visitor (not worker) habitation only.
Unlocking of Accommodation (including after hours)
Should you inadvertently lock your keys inside your house, flat or SPQ please call Morris Corporation
(at the cafeteria) on 4958 9229 and the duty manager will arrange to unlock. The unlocking of
accommodation should not be referred to our maintenance contractor, RD Services.
