living setup, each with their own hand basin and walk-in wardrobe. Every room
has its own central heating setup a well as large open windows which allow for
good amounts of sunlight and airflow.

basis.

and heater. Some residents like to have a small fridge in their room for
convenience.
Residents need to provide their own sheets, pillow, pillowcase,
doona and towel. A pack containing all of the above is available from the office
for a fee of $135.
Security is provided by magnetic door keys, which are
individually coded. In addition, two external doors using a swipe card lock
secure each residential block.
Central Heating
Each room is centrally heated during the colder months of April
to approximately November. The radiator can be adjusted (or turned off) by the
resident. Due to fire regulations and to protect from power overloads, residents
are not allowed to use any other type of heater. Infringement of this rule may
result in disciplinary action.
Bathrooms
There are two toilet and shower blocks on each floor (one male
and one female). Each bathroom contains three toilets, and generally three
showers except on the bottom floor of each block in which two showers are
replaced by a dual shower/bath. The bathrooms also contain a hand basin, liquid
soap and hand towels.
Utility Room
On each floor there is a room containing an iron and ironing
board, communal fridge and clothes line. Each floor’s utility room is only
accessible by residents of that floor.
