ARCHITECTURAL THEME

OUBAAI GOLF ESTATE has been designed to provide a gracious and secure lifestyle for its residents and for members of the Golf Club. To protect and enhance this lifestyle, Estate Rules have been established in terms of the Constitution of the Association. They are binding on all persons resident at or visiting OUBAAI GOLF ESTATE, and shall be administered by the Trustees.

The registered owners of erven or units are responsible for ensuring that members of their households, tenants, visitors, invitees and all their employees, which include tradespersons and suppliers, are aware of, and abide by the Estate Rules. Tenants have the same responsibility with respect to their households, visitors, invitees and employees. The Estate Rules may be modified, amended or repealed from time to time subject to the procedure laid down in the Constitution, which vests the ultimate acceptance of the Estate Rules in the hands of the general body of members of the OUBAAI GOLF ESTATE HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION.

The prime objective of the Rules is to preserve and enhance the security, aesthetics and environment at Oubaai. In choosing to live in an estate such as Oubaai, a resident will enjoy all the benefits of communal living, such as security and access to shared facilities. However, communal living inevitably brings responsibilities along with its benefits. Levies must be paid and rules must be obeyed in order to ensure the smooth running of the community for the benefit of all concerned. The Rules have been established in terms of the Constitution. Should any rule contained herein conflict with any provision of the Constitution, the order of preference shall be that the Constitution shall prevail over the Rules. The decision of the Trustees is final and binding in respect of the interpretation of the Rules. The Rules are subject to change from time to time.
