I decided to take a look at some of the display suites currently open in Melbourne Docklands for their Off-The-Plan apartment developments. These were Victoria Point, Victoria Harbour, and Conder Tower.
(For anyone else considering looking, beware that you are required to fill out a registration form when you enter the building, and will like get hassled to varying degrees by sales staff).
It occurred to me later than I did not see in the display suite a hot water service anywhere (or a place where it might fit), which in turn led me to wonder whether high-density apartments usually use a central hot water system (eg. boiler) for the entire building etc.
And this got me wondering about certain utilities and whether they are metered individually to each apartment, or to the building as a whole, and part of the body corporate fees cover that cost?
Does anyone have any knowledge in this area?
Thanks
Kevin.
