Community

The Place

Our heritage listed retro-fitted Hero Apartment Building houses 149 very architect designed apartments on 14 floors with 2 entrances and 2 levels of resident carparking. The street level and basements host restaurants, cafés, retail shops and services. In the carpark a worm farm flourishes with a caring community feeding them and reducing our waste to landfill. On the roof are solar panels. On the front wall there is art.

The People

The Hero Community is diverse and vibrant. Any day you can find all sorts of people with all sorts of backgrounds from all sorts of places. Long-time apartment owners mingle with committed residents, visitors, tradespeople, generations of families, professionals, retirees, students, business owners, sports lovers, artists and musicians. You might come across specialists looking after common property, others delivering goods and services. 

Management

The Owners Corporation Committee works closely with the Owners Corporation Manager and the Building Manager to oversee the strategy and plans for our cherished building and the wellbeing of our community. 

Community Expectations

Our Hero Community expects all in the Building to be courteous and respectful of one another and their surrounds at all times in line with the Hero Rules.

Rules

Owners, residents, visitors and owners’ agents should be familiar with the Hero Rules. You can find a full copy of the Hero Rules and Regulations on this website with a link to the Website for the Victorian Legislation, the Owners Corporation Act 2006.

These are a good guide to the responsibilities that come with living at Hero. Copies of the Rules are also included in the documents provided for owners when purchasing apartments, residents when they sign their leases and visitors when they arrive.

Coronavirus (COVID 19) at Hero

The Hero Owners Corporation Committee and Managers are conscious that the Coronavirus (COVID 19) Pandemic has impacts on Hero and its community. Handwash dispensers have been installed at all entrances. Government notices have been placed in foyers and the lifts with advice about social distancing in the lifts and other hygiene protocols.
