The Reserve Proprietors Incorporated society (NZBN: 9429043044429) was established on 12 November 2004 to manage and maintain the Common Areas (tennis court, swimming pool and clubhouse).
We are an incorporated society of 49 homeowners of freehold houses in Skip Lane, East Tamaki, Auckland. What makes us different from other freehold houses in the area, is that we jointly own our swimming pool, clubhouse and tennis court, 1/49 each (Lots 50 and 51 on DP 341637).
There is NO BODY CORPORATE, our Society is managed by the elected Committee and is responsible for maintaining and managing shared facilities, including:
Swimming pool and clubhouse
Tennis court
Common landscaped areas
We are committed to ensuring that our Common Areas and Communal Facilities remain safe, well-maintained and available for use and enjoyment of all residents.
Skip Lane is a council street, the same as any other street in the neighbourhood and parking is managed by Auckland council.
Grass berms adjacent to the property are the responsibility of the respective owners to mow and maintain.
Membership
When you buy a house in Skip Lane, you become a Member of the Society according to the covenant noted in your property title in favour of the Society, where each registered proprietor covenants to become and remain a Member and to perform the obligations of the Member from the date of the registration of the transfer of the property.
The previous owners must obtain the purchaser's consent to be a Member of the Society (Deed of Covenant) prior to allowing purchaser's occupation under the agreement for sale and purchase.
The new owner(s) must provide the Society their details to maintain the register of Members by completing the Notice of Change of Ownership.

Your levy invoice emailed to your registered email address. Please ensure that the Society has your updated contact details.
Payments are made in one instalment to the bank details provided on the invoice.
Please ensure payments are made by the due date to avoid incurring interest on unpaid levies and to ensure that the Society can meet its obligations under the Constitution. The interest for unpaid levies is accrued at a rate of 10% per annum in respect of so much of the debt as remains unpaid.

Commonly Asked Questions
Is there any special visitors parking on Skip Lane?
Skip Lane is a normal council street and any parking bays are regulated by Auckland Transport, not the Committee. See council map of Skip Lane. Like any other on-street parking these are used on first come-first served basis.
Do I need a permission from the Committee to have pets?
No, the Committee doesn't have such mandate in the Constitution. Even if there was one, the Committee can't dictate the owners of freehold houses what to do inside their own properties.
Who is responsible for mowing the grass berms next to my house?
Generally speaking, the berms belong to the council, but the council asks the property owners to mow the berms located next to their properties. See this information from the council.
Is the Society responsible for maintaining the exterior of the houses and front gardens?
The Society is responsible for Common Areas only (tennis court, swimming pool and the clubhouse), maintenance of owners' freehold houses is each owner's responsibility.
