I understand that, by Law, the Marina Da Gama Association has the right to comment on all building plans. The Executive Committee of the Association is however in the habit of dictating architects, charging large deposits, scrutinizing fees and inspection fees. In my opinion, these are unethical practices to which I am not prepared to be submitted. It is our choice which architect to use and we are already paying Council for building inspections and scrutinizing plans.
Its a proven fact that, should your building plans conform to the style and architecture of the area, there is no need to submit first to the Association to guarantee Council approval.
I have heard those with outstanding subscriptions will not get Association approval till fees are paid up in full! Yeah right!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI have completed my building in 2003 and I am still waiting for their “final inspection” and the return of my “deposit”. For my part they can keep it as long as they keep their noses out of my life.
Keep their noses out of your life? Good luck. Just wait until they implement the levies!!
I hear what you are saying about keeping their noses out of your business, and I can see that it would be a small price to pay for the privilege of keeping them out of your live, but I think that they should be charged, criminally, for theft.
They had no business demanding a deposit in the first place.
I am a member of a HOA currently and we are exactly going through the same thing as the Marinda Da Gama residents. Please can Anita contact me as soon as possible as we also would like to take the trustees further.
