Everything you need to know about everyday living at Union Green. If there is anything you can't find please contact Building Management at management@obms.nz or 09 553 4557.
Security
Most apartment building break-ins result simply from someone following a resident through an entrance before the door closes fully or acting as if they lost their swipe card. Please do your part:
Pause to check the door closes behind you
Don't letting anyone in without a swipe card
Report anyone that enters without a swipe card to Build Management immediately
Don't leave unsecured items in the carpark
Don't leave parcels in lobbies or visible areas
Deliveries
We have a secure Mailroom available to all residents in the ground floor lobby of the Rise. For the access code go to the Residents Portal in the Library (swipe card access coming soon).
Local courier drivers should already know how to access the Mailroom. Terrace residents should specify in delivery instructions if they want items delivered to the mailroom rather than their unit. Please ensure no deliveries are left in the lobby area as this is less secure.
If there are any issues please contact Building Management.
Rubbish Collection
Our Rubbish Room is located on B2 by the main access gates to the carpark. We are a green building and do our best to dispose of waste responsibly. There are facilities for:
Cardboard
Recycling
Food Scraps
General Waste
Inorganic collections are arranged semi-frequently by Building Management and will be announced in advance. At other times you will need to use a paid service.
Bike Cage
There is secure bike storage on B1 which requires swipe card access. It is equipped with tamper proof alarms and video surveillance.
Regular Maintenance
Maintenance involves workers abseiling from the roof, and may require you to move your vehicle or outdoor furniture. You will be notified in advance of:
Window Washing
Building Washing
Carpark Washing
Planter Weeding
If you notice any issues please report it via the Residents Portal as a Maintenance Request.
Booking Amenities
All amenities can be booked in the Residents Portal.

Lifts: Lifts can be locked off to assist with moving. Ensure the protective lift pads are used.
Workshop: There is a workshop on B1 which is used primarily by Building Management but can also be used by residents.
Water & Power
Our Body Corporate manages its own power and water infrastructure to reduce costs to residents.
Tenco manage our water billing on behalf of the Body Corporate. You should automatically receive water bills however you can contact them at service@tenco-ebs.co.nz if you have queries.
Power works as usual, just signup with your chosen retail provider. As we manage infrastructure rather than Vector you will not receive an Entrust Dividend however cost savings will be passed onto you via reduced body corporate levies.
