Parking and electric vehicles
Wybalena Grove Parking Scheme
Some units have attached parking either within the unit area or in an abutting unit subsidiary as shown on the Units Plan. A majority of units do not have such parking arrangements and instead have one or two spaces in common property carparks allocated as special privileges as set out in Rule 30 and its associated parking diagrams. Smaller units have one such space and the larger units have two. At least one space for each unit is either covered or has approval in place to erect a carport. Some uncovered second spaces could receive approval to add a carport while others are not able to be covered for reasons such as an underlaying water main.
See Section 5.1 of the Wybalena Grove Information Booklet.
Electric Vehicle Charging
An electric vehicle charging plan was adopted by general meeting resolution in 2018 to enable the gradual addition of charging outlets as required at individual unit owners’ expense for the installation (and repair and maintenance) of the circuits they use.
Units with carports within the unit area or on unit subsidiaries can organise charging outlets in their own carports connected to their own electricity meters. Some units’ allocated parking spaces in shared parking areas are sufficiently close that a charging outlet can be installed with cable only needing to traverse a short distance of common property from the unit’s meter. Permission for this ‘minor use’ of common property and approval of the details of the installation must be sought from the executive committee (EC).
Some units are too far from their allocated parking space and instead need to use a connection to a common property electricity supply. The EC has a responsibility to ensure the equitable sharing of the available supply capacity among those who cannot connect to their own unit’s supply. Individual charging connections to common property supplies are sub-metered to enable the OC to recoup the cost of electricity used for vehicle charging.
