• Flooring Surface: DO NOT drag heavy objects across carpets/flooring – use appropriate moving equipment such as a trolley, to move these items.

• Flooring Underlay: As part of the acoustic treatment, some areas of tiled floors are laid over an acoustic underlay. As the underlay is flexible, a protective layer of soft fabric and stiff load distribution sheeting (i.e. plywood) should be used when moving heavy furniture and whitegoods over tiles. This will prevent potential damage to the tiles and grout joints.

• All loading and unloading of goods and furniture is to be conducted entirely within the property. Residents are to ensure that loading and unloading is not conducted from vehicles standing kerbside.
