4. HOURS OF OPERATION

Business hours for the Jessie Street Centre are between 06:00am and 06:00pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. If access is required outside of these hours, the contractor is required to ensure approval is obtained from the Brookfield Commercial Operations Facilities Manager prior the date; Ensure all permit requests (e.g. access, hot work, etc) are submitted to the Brookfield Facilities Manager 2 business days before the work is due to commence; and ensure permits, work orders, etc, are collected from the Brookfield Commercial Operations Facilities Manager prior to commencing any work on site. Car park roller shutters are operational between the hours of 6.00am and 6.00pm. At all other times, these doors/shutters are locked and on security.

5. HOUSE RULES Smoking Policy You are advised that a “No Smoking” policy exists within the Jessie Street Centre and pavement areas of its boundaries. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to inform their staff and guests of this policy. Building Access Control System A Commander Software access system, incorporating proximity card readers, is installed throughout the building. This system monitors perimeter, car park and fire door access points and is monitored by the building security contractor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Commander Software access control system provides access to secured points for after hour’s access. Access Cards can be programmed individually to meet most combinations of access required by tenants.




The holder of a valid access card that activates the afterhours building perimeter and car park roller shutters access points will be deemed to being authorised to enter the building after hours. Any person not in possession of a valid access card will be refused entry to the premises. Access Cards can only be ordered or access altered via the Tecom Challenger Programming Request Form (Can be obtained from building Security). The cost of new proximity card is $25.00 plus GST per card, which includes the initial programming of the card.

These forms should be faxed directly to building security for attention. The building security office fax no is 9762 5955. If you have any enquiries, please ring the building security office on 9761 0306. This office is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If in the event a access card is lost or misplaced, we ask that building security be informed as soon as possible so that we can cancel access to ensure that tenant and building security is not compromised. Please note that in regards to tenants that have their own tenancy security system installed within their premises and not connected to the base building system would need to program their access requirements. Keep in mind that you would still need to supply us with your requirements to any access required to the building perimeter access points (Base Building Control Points). Building Security The Jessie Street Centre complex has security personnel on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The security personnel are engaged to provide and maintain security to protect the Jessie Street Centre complex. The perimeter access doors, car park entrances and certain fire doors are alarmed throughout the Jessie Street Centre. These alarms are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by building security. As well as these alarm points the Jessie Street Centre complex is equipped with a sophisticated digital CCTV camera system. These cameras are installed at various strategic locations throughout the Jessie Street Centre. Internal security patrols are carried out by building security after hours to check floor common areas and tenancy door security. If the security guard(s) notice any discrepancy whilst carrying out these patrols such as for example: If a tenancy door is left unsecured etc the guard will make a record of such instances for advice and secure the door if on the master key system or if a key has been provided. If neither is available then security will endeavour to notify the designated after hours tenant contact for instructions.

The Jessie Street Centre and its surrounds are patrolled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For any security queries please telephone either the security office on 9761 0306 or building management via 24 hours call centre 1800 273 783.

An Operating and Maintenance Manual (O&MM) is to be prepared, where applicable, for each




installation. For major fit outs, individual manuals are to be prepared for each service (mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, fire protection etc). Where services are of a minor nature, with the approval of the Brookfield Commercial Operations Facilities Manager, manuals may be combined into a common document.
