Subject: UPDATED REQUEST: SP52948 Security Guard duties in night shift - 1Sep2019
Date: 1/9/19, 8:40 pm

Hi,

The request dated 3 March 2018 was neither responded to nor found in strata files on 31 May 2019.

Owners in the complex are of the belief that they are protected by licensed security guards at night for the last 23 years (many years ago they were even required to have valid First Aid certification).

This evening, maintenance staff was seen in the office two times who did not appear to have valid Security Guard Class 1, or similar, license:

As a matter of priority, please provide the following information:

a) Are night shift staff by maintenance staff required to have valid Security Guard Class 1 license (as it used to be the case with previous building managers and caretakers)? To be eligible for this license, one must have a National Police Certificate as well.

b) If so, provide names of SP52948 night shift staff that have valid Security Guard Class 1 or similar license?

c) If the Security Guard Class 1 (or similar) license is not required, please notify all owners in the complex so that a proper review is done why are owners paying such high costs for night security.

d) If Security Guard Class 1, or similar, license is required for night shift work in our complex, then provide details of maintenance staff who works this evening in the complex (evidence has been collected on our side). If such person is not licensed (and should be), who approved UNLICENSED STAFF to work today and two times in last two years (also reported by Lot 158 but not responded to or actioned)?

Regards,

Hi,

For the immediate attention of the Secretary of the SP52948.

a) Maintenance staff failed to sign the document that ensured his staff would not follow, stalk or bully my wife (or members of the family) in any form, as per her recent request.

b) Night shift is one of periods with heightened security-related risks.

We request immediate confirmation of which maintenance staff or subcontractors have license to work as security guards in the complex:

Names and license details

Regards,

Lot 158
