Access matrix

Who gets access

    Included

    Eligible resident cardholders use the common park and lake facilities under the membership rules. Standard membership does not authorize another property's private dock or gate.

  • Condominium unit and private-route eligibility

    Eligibility

Important rules

  • Due April 1, interest from May 1

    Association-published

    The 2026/27 annual fee is due April 1, 2026. Interest begins May 1 on outstanding balances. A 2% processing fee applies to credit-card payments.

    Source: Annual Fee Information

  • Tenant transfers and membership cards

    Association-published

    Since April 1, 2026, tenant transfers must use the online form and cost $100 + GST. A tenant information form only updates contact or child details; it does not authorize a transfer.

    Source: Current membership, tenant-transfer and resale forms

  • Carry your own membership card

    Association-published

    Cards cannot be lent, even within a household. A lost or stolen card costs $10 to replace; tax treatment is unstated. Allow up to 72 hours for requests. Owners need title and government photo ID; confirm residency documentation with ABRA.

    Source: Membership rules — linked April 2026 filename

  • Larger guest groups need approval

    Details not yet published

    Gate +8 allows up to eight guests with approval requested at least 48 hours ahead; one list per household per day. More than eight requires a picnic-shelter reservation. The guest PDF allows ten lists Monday–Thursday and five Friday–Sunday/holidays, while the FAQ includes Friday in the ten-list group. Confirm Friday availability directly.

    Sources: Guests of residents; Membership, guests, pets and rental FAQ

  • Private lake-access routes and storage

    Association-published

    Only the Lake Access lots with gates may use their assigned walkways. No overnight boat storage; unattended belongings need management approval. Park rules also apply to these routes. A neighbourhood map cannot identify a home's assigned accessway.

    Source: Lake access walkway rules

  • Pets and assistance dogs

    Association-published

    Pets are excluded from ABRA grounds, lake and winter ice, including lake-access routes. The FAQ expressly excepts service/guide dogs.

    Sources: General facility rules; Membership, guests, pets and rental FAQ

  • Park restrictions and indoor rental exception

    Association-published

    No alcohol, smoking, cannabis use or vaping in the park. The FAQ permits alcohol inside Auburn House only for rentals with the required liability insurance and posted liquor licence. Confirm the rental agreement before booking.

    Source: Membership, guests, pets and rental FAQ

  • Boat and paddleboard sign-out

    Association-published

    A resident cardholder aged 16+ must sign out the craft and stay aboard with guests. Caregiver/babysitter cards cannot sign out equipment. Lifejackets are compulsory aboard ABRA craft. Boat loans last 90 minutes; SUPs 45 minutes. Return by 30 minutes before closing; sign-out stops an hour before closing. Weather or staff directions can end use earlier.

    Source: Boat and stand-up paddleboard rules

  • Motors and lake conduct

    Association-published

    Motorized boats, including battery-powered craft, are prohibited apart from association maintenance/security use. No diving or jumping from association docks or boats. ABRA does not provide lifeguards.

    Source: General facility rules

  • Fishing limits and equipment

    Association-published

    One rod per person. Take-home limits are two fish per member daily and twelve per household monthly; guests' fish count against the household limit. Record catches with staff. Single barbless hooks only; no food/live bait, nets or lead weights. Fish cleaning on association property is prohibited.

    Source: Fishing rules and winter fishing conditions

  • Fishing locations and ice-hole spacing need clarification

    Details not yet published

    The FAQ permits fishing from the fishing dock, while the fishing PDF prohibits fishing within five metres of a private or public dock. Winter spacing ranges in that PDF also differ from the live rules. Ask staff for the designated location and current spacing before fishing.

  • Use the association's ice-opening signals

    Association-published

    Stay off the lake while red flags or thin-ice signs are posted. ABRA must open the ice before skating or ice fishing; private ice surfaces are also subject to its opening decision. This describes policy, not today's ice conditions.

    Source: Auburn House rules and activity conditions

  • Outdoor court guest charges

    Association-published

    From May 5, 2026, non-resident outdoor-court guests pay $10 for adults or $5 for youth aged 17 and under. Check-in wristbands must stay visible. Tax treatment is not stated; this is not a general lake-admission price.

    Source: Auburn House rules and activity conditions

  • Read the budget alongside the assessment

    Association-published

    The 2026–27 budget includes Auburn House mortgage payments and a reserve contribution. Ask for the latest financial statements and reserve planning alongside the household invoice.
