Emergency action guide
Immediate danger? Call 000 for Fire, Ambulance or Police. Give your apartment number and location: Byron Lakeside, 5–7 Old Bangalow Road, Byron Bay NSW 2481. Explain what happened and follow the operator’s instructions.
This guide supports the building’s displayed evacuation plan. Follow that plan and emergency-service directions. Management is not always onsite.
Fire, smoke or a fire alarm
Leave promptly using a safe exit shown on the displayed evacuation diagram. Alert others as you leave, if safe. Close doors behind you if practical. Use stairs, never lifts during a fire. Leave belongings behind and do not delay evacuation to fight a fire.
Once outside, stay clear of the building and access for emergency vehicles. Go to the assembly point shown on the building’s evacuation diagram. Call 000 from a safe place. Do not re-enter until emergency services say it is safe.
If smoke or fire blocks your escape, close the door between you and the danger, call 000 and give your exact apartment and location. Follow the operator’s advice.
Medical emergency or someone in difficulty in the pool
Call 000 and ask for an ambulance. Give the apartment number or say “pool on the west side of the complex; pedestrian path between Units 31 and 32”. Keep access clear. If another person is available, ask them to meet responders without putting themselves at risk.
Check that it is safe to approach. Do not put yourself in danger attempting a rescue. If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, tell the operator immediately and follow their CPR instructions. Use an AED if one is available and follow its voice prompts. Do not assume an AED is onsite.
Storms, flooding or severe weather
Follow official warnings and evacuation directions. Stay away from windows and avoid the pool, BBQ area and exposed outdoor spaces during dangerous weather. Do not go outside to secure furniture during a storm.
Never drive, walk or swim through floodwater. For storm or flood assistance call NSW SES on 132 500. Call 000 if life is in danger. If directed to evacuate, follow the route given by emergency services.
Electrical danger, major leaks or building damage
Keep clear of exposed wiring, wet electrical fittings, damaged structures and unsafe areas. Do not touch equipment or enter standing water near electricity. Keep others away and call 000 if anyone is in immediate danger.
Stay at least 8 metres from fallen powerlines and anything touching them. Call Essential Energy on 13 20 80. Report urgent building hazards to management on 0499 166 839 once you are safe. Do not attempt repairs or enter plant rooms.
Be ready before an emergency
Read the evacuation diagram displayed at the property and identify your safe exits and assembly point on arrival. Ask management if you cannot find the diagram or need help understanding it. The pool access path is a location reference, not a confirmed evacuation route.
If you may need help evacuating because of mobility, hearing, vision or another need, contact management in advance to arrange an individual plan. Do not rely on staff being onsite. If you cannot leave during an emergency, tell 000 your exact location and follow their advice.
Keep exits clear. Never interfere with alarms, fire doors or safety equipment. Account for your household at the assembly point and tell emergency services immediately if anyone is missing; do not go back inside.
For routine strata administration, email Kellie Lynch at BCS. Email and the guide’s report forms are not emergency channels.

Check-in & checkout
Check-in · from 2 pm
3 pm during peak periods. Your arrival message confirms your booking’s check-in time and access details. Early check-in costs extra and must be pre-arranged.
Checkout · by 10 am
Late checkout costs extra, is subject to availability and must be confirmed in advance.
Give us at least 24 hours’ notice. All paid services must be pre-arranged and confirmed. We’re not always onsite.
Early check-in & late checkout prices
All options are subject to availability. Stay-the-day requires no incoming booking; management confirms the departure time and exact total. Guaranteed very early access may require booking the previous night.
Bins & rubbish
Please sort your rubbish into the correct-colour shared bins. Recycling goes in loose; general waste should be bagged. Do not leave bags, boxes or bulky items beside bins.
Bins are put out for collection on Monday and returned to their usual positions on Tuesday. If they are not in their usual spot, use the correct-colour bins placed out for collection or ask management for help.
Red lid · general waste
- Bag ordinary household waste that cannot go in recycling or organics, including nappies, sanitary products and soft-plastic wrappers.
- No batteries, chemicals, gas bottles, hot ashes, e-waste, furniture or building waste.
Yellow lid · recycling
- Empty glass bottles and jars, accepted rigid plastic containers, metal cans, paper and clean cardboard.
- Put recycling in loose, never inside plastic bags. Empty containers and remove food residue.
- Flatten cardboard boxes and remove excess tape and packaging.
- No food scraps, nappies, soft plastics, crockery, drinking glasses or electrical items.
- Please do not drop bottles into bins between 10 pm and 8 am.
Green lid · food & garden organics
- Food scraps and suitable small garden clippings only. Remove packaging first.
- Food scraps must be placed in a green compostable food-scrap bag certified to AS 4736 before going in the green bin. Check the certification on the packaging; green colour alone does not mean a bag is suitable. No ordinary plastic or merely biodegradable bags.
- No cardboard boxes, paper packaging, pizza boxes, tissues, paper towels, coffee cups, nappies, plastic bags or compostable packaging. Certified AS 4736 food-scrap bags are the only bag exception.
Keep the bin area tidy
- Use the correct bin every time. Do not overflow bins; lids must close.
- If a bin is full, use another bin of the same colour or contact management. Do not leave bags beside bins.
- No dumping rubbish, furniture, mattresses, appliances or renovation waste. Arrange lawful disposal or speak with management first.
- Reasonable removal/cleaning costs may be charged to the responsible party where permitted.
- Keep access clear and report spills, contamination or damaged bins.

Non-urgent after-hours attendance may incur a fee; any applicable charge will be explained where practical.
Call managementTroubleshoot an issue
Try a simple check first. Never remove covers, repair wiring, disable alarms or repeatedly reset a tripping circuit. Stop using anything that appears unsafe.
Arrival information
Check SMS, email, spam/junk and your booking provider’s messages, including Booking.com. Your access details are sent before arrival. Check your apartment number and dates; contact management if you cannot find them.
Wi-Fi
Use the network/password in your apartment arrival message first. Re-enter the password carefully, forget and rejoin the network, restart your device and try another device. If there is a clearly identified guest router, restart using its normal power switch only if safe. Never factory-reset or unplug unidentified/shared equipment.
TV
Check power, remote batteries and the input/source. Choose TV/DTV for free-to-air or the correct HDMI source. Check internet for streaming, use your own account and sign out before departure. Do not factory-reset the TV.
Air-conditioning
Close doors/windows, select Cool or Heat, choose a moderate temperature and allow several minutes. Check remote batteries and timers. If leaking, smelling burnt or tripping power, stop using it and contact management.
No power
Check normal wall switches if safe and note whether one appliance or the whole apartment is affected. Keep away from wet or damaged equipment. Never remove covers or repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Contact management; call 000 for fire or immediate danger.
Hot water
Check whether both kitchen and bathroom are affected and whether several showers have just used the supply. Contact management with the details. Do not open or adjust the hot-water unit.
Dishwasher & washing machine
Check the door is fully closed, the selected cycle and normal power supply. Use only the correct detergent. Photograph any error code. Don’t force locked doors. For a leak, stop the cycle using normal controls if safe and contact management.
Fridge
Check power, the door seal and whether vents are blocked. Allow cooling time after loading groceries. Report a warm fridge promptly. Do not dismantle equipment or use tools to defrost.
Blocked toilet or drain
Stop using the affected fixture. Never flush wipes, sanitary products or paper towels. Do not use chemical drain cleaner. Contact management promptly for overflow or an active leak.
Smoke alarm
Never cover, disable or remove batteries. For smoke, fire or uncertainty, leave and call 000. For a low-battery chirp without signs of fire, contact management.
