Units Plan 14971
The Metropol Rules
The registered Rules govern how units and common property may be used. All owners and occupiers must comply with them at all times.
The Rules are the governing document for living at Metropol — covering security, deliveries, common property, balconies, pets, renovations, fire safety and building presentation. They should be read together with the Welcome Pack. Owners must also give a copy to any tenant or occupier of their unit.

Living respectfully
Rules
Noise & quiet hours
Be considerate at all times. Be especially mindful of noise between 10:00pm and 7:00am (Mon–Sat) and 10:00pm and 8:00am (Sun & public holidays).
Smoking & vaping
Prohibited on all common property — foyers, corridors, lifts, fire stairs, in front of entry doors, and the tiled and decked areas between the buildings.
Balconies & terraces
No storage on balconies. Screens, awnings, lighting and similar need approval. Nothing may rest on balustrades or be allowed to fall or drain over the edge.
Pets
Metropol is pet-friendly, but approval is required before a pet is introduced. Supervise pets on common property, clean up, and ensure they don't cause a nuisance.
Security & access devices
Fobs, keys and remotes are controlled by the Owners Corporation. Never copy them, report losses immediately, don't allow tailgating, and don't install lockboxes on common property.
E-bikes, e-scooters & lithium batteries
Only compliant devices, charged safely — never from common-property power. Damaged devices must not be charged, and delivery riders must not bring e-bikes or e-scooters into the buildings.
Why it matters
If the Rules are breached
Most breaches happen because something is assumed to be minor and done without checking first — which can create avoidable risk around fire safety, security, damage, access and nuisance.
Where the Rules are breached, the Owners Corporation or Executive Committee may direct that the item be rectified or removed, recover costs (including cleaning, repairs and legal costs), issue a rule infringement notice, and pursue further enforcement if needed. If you are ever unsure about a rule, process or approval, contact the Strata Manager before proceeding.
