History of the Association

The Beaumaris Beach Home Owner’s Association (BBHOA) was incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1987 on 1^st March 1994. The application was lodged by McCusker and Harmer and signed by Mr Maxwell Frank Stewart.

The rules of the Association are set out in the Association’s constitution, which was formulated to satisfy initial administrative needs and can be modified by the Association as necessary.

One particular administrative need was the placement of the Beaumaris Beach Home Owner’s Association Caveat, lodged prior to settlement of every lot in Iluka by the Estate owners. The Caveat is to notify the Purchaser that he/she must become and remain a member of the association so long he/she remains an owner of the land.

The City of Joondalup Council and the Beaumaris Beach project managers, Beaumaris Land Sales, instigated a meeting of Iluka residents at Ocean Reef on 19^th August 1998 to discuss the formation of the association. Approximately 150 people attended the meeting, representing some 98 Iluka properties.

Representatives of Council and Beaumaris Land Sales described from their perspective the need for Iluka residents to form an active association. Two key reasons were described. Firstly, the ability to continue to place the above Caveat and other administrative matters. Secondly, the need for residents to consider whether current maintenance standards in Iluka should be maintained after the imminent handover of maintenance from the developer to Council, and if so, how residents might contribute to maintenance of areas other than Public Open Space (POS).

The residents appreciated the Owners need to overcome administrative problems, but were also concerned that a committee should not be formed hurriedly without due regard for responsibilities of committee members, liability, adequate representation of other residents' concerns, etc. Following considerable discussion, the meeting resolved by a show of hands (one vote per household) to establish a Steering Committee to undertake necessary tasks prior to 1^st January 1999. Primarily, this task was to clarify the options for resident contributions and the likely costs involved.

A Steering Committee was then voted into office to carry out this task on the basis that all members would resign and, if willing, re-nominate for election at a General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 25^th November 1998. The Steering Committee would continue to work with the developer’s Project Manager, the owner’s solicitor and the City of Joondalup to clarify the tasks of the committee and answer the questions of the residents prior to the next meeting. The first Committee was elected at the General Meeting and came into effect on 1^st January 1999.

At the 2005 Annual General Meeting it was unanimously agreed to change the associations name to the Iluka Home Owners Association. This was subsequently ratified by the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection in October 2005.
