approval to the Management Office for record before commencement of any
works.
Q6. Can I install window
grilles?
Yes, for most of our developments, you may install grilles

facilities except as invited guests of residents.
Q10. Do I have to apply for a
parking lot?

the Management Office. The allocation of carpark lots is subject to availability
and is at the discretion of the Management Office. You may also refer to the
