Resort house rules

Kia ora koutou, Over the past several months the Body Corporate Committee has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Resort House Rules. This review was not prompted by any single issue. Rather, it became clear that over many years the Rules had evolved through incremental changes, administrative practice, and informal interpretation. As a result, the document in use no longer consistently reflected the underlying governing instruments of the Resort, nor did it provide the clarity that Owners, Management, or the Committee require.In a timeshare community such as ours — where use rights, levy obligations, shared facilities, and allocation systems intersect — clarity is essential. It protects fairness between Owners. It supports consistent administration. It reduces misunderstanding. Most importantly, it ensures that all Occupants are treated equally. The updated Resort House Rules are intended to:• Align fully with the Unit Titles Act, the Operational Rules, the Memorandum of Lease, and the Pooling Deed
• Clarify existing practices rather than introduce unnecessary new restrictions
• Provide transparent guidance for Owners, Guests, Management, and the Committee
• Ensure consistent and even-handed application of the Rules The Committee recognises that for many years the Resort has operated largely on goodwill and cooperation — and that remains fundamental to our culture. The purpose of this update is not to impose unnecessary rigidity, but to ensure that our shared arrangements are clearly documented and consistently applied for the benefit of all. You will notice that the revised document is structured more formally than previous versions. This reflects the fact that it is now treated as a properly adopted governance instrument under delegated authority from the Body Corporate. That structure provides stability and continuity for future Committees, reducing the risk of interpretation drift over time. Where operational detail is required (for example, booking systems or financial eligibility procedures), those processes are now clearly referenced rather than implied. The Committee believes this reset strengthens the governance foundation of Lakeside Villas Resort and provides a stable platform for the future. We thank Owners for their continued cooperation and respect for our shared community. If you have any questions regarding the updated Rules, please direct them to Management in the first instance. Ngā mihi,Les Waimotu
