Freemans Park, Beresford Street West, Freemans Bay, Auckland

Freemans Park is the modernist housing precinct in park-like grounds which were considered to be a break-through in urban housing design when it was created by the Council as public housing in the 1960’s. The development contains 201 units occupied by a mixture of owners and tenants and it includes large park like grounds that are common property.

Given the diverse mix of residents, common areas and associated facilities, the Body Corporate wanted clarity for unit owners on their future long term maintenance plan options, this was of particular importance given the older nature of the development and the need to ensure that the common areas were maintained to such a standard that the capital asset was not affected.

The work carried out by Peter and his team at Asset Management Solutions have provided the Body Corporate and unit owners with a set of reports that clearly identifies our maintenance obligations in future years. This allows us to present accurate financial projections to all unit owners and make an important decision about how to fund the Long Term Maintenance Plan. We’re particularly impressed with the feature of online access to our plan, allowing us to update our Plan as we complete works and keep it current. This will save us the need for spending further money on updated paper plans.
