Covenants
A Covenant (or more specifically a Restrictive Covenant) is an agreement entered into by
purchasers of land in Iluka which govern what the land owner may and may not do with their property.
Land owners are bound by the terms of the Covenant which are designed to maintain the value of
properties in Iluka for the benefit of all residents and to provide assurance to existing and
prospective land owners that Iluka will conform to the same high standard in the future.
The Covenent applies to the property itself not an individual Home Owner as such and is
therefore considered to be transferred to the new Home Owner upon sale of the property.
The key points covered by the Iluka Covenants include.
- The minimum dwelling sizes.
In Iluka the minimun size is 180 square metres.
- Allowable materials to be used in construction.
For example, only tile or colorbond roofing is permitted.
- Fencing requirements.
Fibro fencing is not permitted forward of the building line.
- Signs.
No advertising signage of any sort is permitted with the exception of vendor real estate signage.
- Commercial Vehicles.
Commercial vehicles (along with caravans and boats) must not be parked within public view.
NOTE: This list is not complete, please refer to the documents below for more information
or contact the Committee if you have any other
concerns regarding the Covenants.
The Covenants also prohibit the use of external antennae and sattelite dishes, however given
that pay TV is currently unavailable through the underground cable network,
this Covenent has been temporarily waived with regard to sattelite dishes until such time
that pay TV is available through the network.
Closely related to the Covenant is a Caveat, which is warning recorded on a Certificate
of Title that another party claims an interest in the land, in this case the interested party
is the Home Owners Association for the purposes of ensuring compliance with the Covenants.
When a property is purchased in Iluka, it is usual during the settlement process (and typically at
the request of the financing organisation) for the Caveat to be lifted and re-lodged.
