By using your authorised fobs to access entry to any facility of the LWC you are agreeing to abide by the terms and conditions of entry and the LWC Rules and Conditions of Use.

To ensure the security of the facilities is not compromised, security entrance doors and gates must not be left open or unattended at any time. Access fobs must be used to gain entry.

Fobs may only be used for purposes consistent with the governance documents of the LWC, namely for the benefit of owners or occupants of apartments within the Wellington Gardens precinct, their families and visitors and upon and subject to the terms, conditions and rules from time to time prescribed by the LWC Board of Directors.

Two fobs are allocated to each apartment. Fobs may only be collected by, or upon the written authority of, the apartment owner or the duly authorised agent of the apartment owner ― see procedure below. Fobs will not be sent by mail.

The apartment owner is and remains responsible for all fobs allocated in respect of the relevant apartment.

An owner whose apartment is leased may inform the LWC Administrative Manager of the particulars of the tenant or tenants, but this does not absolve the owner of responsibility for the associated fobs and their usage.

Non-resident owners who have leased out their property with rights to the tenants to use the facilities of the LWC, and who reside within greater Metropolitan Melbourne, may apply for an additional fob free of charge to enable them to make use of facilities. Additional fobs will not be allocated to non-resident owners who have leased out their property but do not reside within the Greater Metropolitan area.

If you cease to be an owner or occupant, you are not permitted to utilise any of the LWC facilities unless you are an invited guest of an owner or occupant.

Upon the sale of an apartment it is the responsibility of the vendor to deliver the fobs associated with the relevant apartment to the new owner or the duly authorised agent of the new owner and to notify the LWC of the particulars of the new owner via email to fobs@lordwellingtonclub.com.au.

Upon the expiration or termination of a tenancy it is the responsibility of the owner to recover the fobs associated with the relevant apartment from the outgoing tenant.

Lost fobs must be reported to the LWC Administrative Manager and will be deactivated. Replacement fobs will be issued on payment of the required fee. See below for procedure and cost.

All fobs remain the property of the LWC. Additional fobs will not be sold or allocated except in accordance with the practice and procedure set out above.

Upon the sale of a residence, the associated Strata Manager is to notify the LWC of the new owner details. On receiving this notification, the LWC will send a LWC Welcome Pack, which includes details of access fobs, to the new owner.

Use of Fobs to Access Facilities of the LWC

The access system consists of reader locks on the entry door or gate to all facilities of the LWC. To enter the facility, it is necessary to touch the fob on the reader. When exiting either the East Pool or the West Pool, it is also necessary to touch on the fob reader.

The system keeps an audit trail of all key usage and enforces existing hours of operation:

  • East and West Pool: 6:00am to 10:00pm
  • East Pavilion: 6:00am to 10:00pm
  • LWC Lounge:  6:00am to 11:00pm (no access after 10:45pm)
  • Gymnasium: 6:00am to 11.00pm (no access after 10:45pm)

Except for access via the Jolimont Road gates, which is available at all times, fobs will not function outside these hours. Emergency exit buttons are provided at each pool gate for activation by anyone locked in after hours.

The evening security patrol will ensure that all facilities are vacated in compliance with the designated hours of operation and check for any damage or other facility issues.
