Apartments, pets and water: moving in or out of Geelong City

Moving in or out of a multi-storey building takes a little planning. At the ABS 2021 Census, 434 of the suburb’s 632 occupied flats and apartments were in blocks of four storeys or more, and 316 of its 536 townhouses and semi-detached homes had two or more storeys.

Building rules before cleaning day

In a block, the owners corporation’s rules can affect moving and cleaning. Ask your building manager or agent whether the lift needs booking, where vehicles can load and whether visitor parking is available, then add any building codes and parking details to the booking form’s instructions field.

Pets are part of that picture. Consumer Affairs Victoria notes that an owners corporation may have its own rules about pets in common areas such as foyers and driveways, which renters must follow, and that rental providers should give renters a copy of those rules when they move in. Cats across Greater Geelong are also under a dusk-to-dawn curfew.

Glass, chrome and Barwon Water

Geelong’s tap water comes from Barwon Water, which says water across its region is generally considered soft and poses no scaling problems. That is a region-wide statement rather than a Geelong City reading, so the haze on an apartment’s shower screen is more likely soap residue than limescale, and a squeegee after showering does most of the work. You handle the boxes; we’ll handle the bathroom.
