There are a number of items that are not allowed to be constructed or stored on balconies without the written consent of the Body Corporate. For further details please refer to the Liberty Tower building rules.

Storage of bicycles is permitted in the car park providing the bicycle is registered with the Building Manager. An ID tag will be issued which needs to be displayed on the bicycle. Please email the Building to register a bicycle. A $100 administration fee is applicable which is refundable when allocation space is no longer required and the ID tag is returned.

Storage of bicycles must be in an allocated position on the purpose-built racks located in the north east corner of the building on levels 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5. Bicycles that have not been registered or are not in the allocated position and / or are stored in any other location may be removed and disposed of at the discretion of the Building Manager.

All bicycles must enter and exit the building from the Francis Street car park or Loading Dock entrances. Bicycles are not permitted to enter or exit the building through the Collins Street entrance.

If a resident needs to transport a bicycle in a lift, it is preferred to utilise the goods lift rather than the dedicated pedestrian lifts.

For further information on registering a bicycle(s) please click here.

Entry to the car park is via Francis Street and requires a security swipe / fob to open the security gate. All car spaces are private property of the individual lot owners and are maintained by the Owners Corporation.

Safety & Security

Speed limit in the car park is 8km, please be respectful of other residents and follow the limit.

Convex mirrors have been installed at all turning points to maximise visibility. Please turn on your headlights to improve visibility from other vehicles and pedestrians.

Guest Parking

Liberty Tower does not provide visitor or guest parking. Parking in any car space without the express permission of the lot owner or tenant is trespassing and a breach notice may be issued at the discretion of the Owners Corporation.

Unauthorised Parking

As all parking spaces are the private property of the respective lot owner, building management and the Owner’s Corporation have no authority to take specific action against unauthorised parking. During business hours, building management may be able to assist with identification of unauthorised vehicles via security footage and access control logs, but enforcement of each parking space remains the responsibility of the lot owner. The Owner’s Corporation recommends lot owners consider installing retractable bollards in their parking space to prevent unauthorised use.

Subletting Car Spaces

If a lot owner sub-lets their parking space to a non-resident of Liberty Tower, they must notify the Owners Corporation and Building Manager in writing. If this is not done, the Building Manager may evict any non-resident from the building if they are unable to prove that they have permission to park onsite.
