The Covenants

The Residents Association took over the administration of covenants from Homesteads Limited in 1984. The Association considers it hard to overstate the importance of the covenants. Many times this has been emphasized by members at AGMs by giving the Management Council a clear and firm mandate to enforce the covenants, and by the creation of a fighting fund which is reserved in the accounts.
