Jack’s Point is a unique community that owns it own parks, reserves, farmed open spaces, roads and water infrastructure. The Jack’s Point Residents and Owners Association (JPROA) or the Residents Society, owns and manages many of these assets and facilities on behalf of its Members, in a manner comparable to a local council.
The JPROA is governed by an elected Committee and levies members for the cost of maintaining the communal facilities and operating the Society itself.
Covenants registered against property titles require property owners to become a Member of the Society and as a Member, property owners are entitled to vote on Society matters. An Annual General Meeting is held late in each calendar year.
The rules governing the Society, how it is set up and operates are set out in the Constitution and Bylaws.

For JPROA Society contacts and postal details, please see the Residents’ Information section further down this page.

Golf Course Maintenance Levies are invoiced with your Residents’ Society levies but are passed directly onto the golf course. Golf Levies vary depending on the precinct, use and size of your property. Current quarterly Golf levies (excluding GST) for specific properties are available on Property Information.

    The Golf Course Maintenance Levies entitles Society members to access the Golf Course with the payment of either discounted green fees or an annual fee. To take up golf access rights, members need to complete the Golf Access form.

    The Residents’ Society has secured the access rights via two Golf Course Encumbrances and Village Golf Deeds registered over the golf course land. The Golf Course Encumbrance and Deeds, a copy of which is attached to the Constitution, provide Society members with, amongst other things, secure and ongoing rights of access to the golf course.

    The Golf Course Maintenance Levies are payable by Members of the Society as a contribution toward the upkeep of the open space, irrespective of whether you choose to access your golf course rights.

  • In an emergency, civil defence and first responders will be very busy and will prioritise the people who need them the most. It’s up to us as individuals and as a community to be as prepared as we can be. Jack’s Point has a local civil defence group which also covers the wider area including Hanley’s Farm and Oraka Drift Bay. The group has had civil defence training and is well prepared to set up a community emergency hub. Thanks to investment of the JPROA ,we have an emergency generator, lighting and communications equipment at our disposal. Our community hub will be set up at the Clubhouse, or nearby if the building is not in a fit state for use.

    For further information, head to otagocdem.govt.nz for more information and sign up to otago.getsready.net for emergency alerts.

  • Long term rentals (longer than 32 days), are permitted without Dispensation from the Rental Agency however the JPROA do require contact details for your tenants and registration numbers for the vehicles related to that property.
    Please find the Tenancy Information Form here. Return the completed form to the Society.

    Short term rentals (less than 32 days), are currently permitted for maximum of 42 calendar days per year and require Dispensation from the Rental Agency to be either owner operated or operated via a rental agent of your preference. Please contact the Society to arrange a Dispensation for your property.
    Rental days permitted are currently under review.

  • Jack’s Point has an absolute commitment to the landscape which in turn feeds through into every part of our developing community. The staged treatment system we have invested in for residential owners (i.e. not in the Preserve area) at Jack’s Point is designed to give the home owner a largely “flush and forget” service that requires no significant involvement from occupiers while delivering our community a long term sustainable wastewater system. It takes advantage of leading edge technology to provide a state of the art system that aims to contain costs over the long term while contributing to the landscape. What you do need to know:

    Taking Care of Your System : Your waste water treatment system uses natural bacteria for waste treatment and some domestic cleaning chemicals interfere with these bacteria and shouldn’t be used. Citrus based cleaners and those that use sodium hydroxide or chlorine are fine. The main ones to avoid are those containing Quaternary Ammonium Compounds. Cleaning products do not always list all the chemicals on the bottle, so you may need to review the MSD sheets if you are in any doubt. Most household cleaners are fine but there are a limited number that contain harsh chemicals. As always, the recommended volume and concentration should be used and excess wash water should be disposed of onto lawn or garden rather than into the sewer. Do not empty the contents of chemical toilets (for example campervan toilets) into your STEP tank.

    Please find an short overview of suitable household cleaners here

    Maintenance: Your tank should require minimal maintenance with servicing every 2-3 years. Keeping the tank monitored electronically means that you can forget about it. You must have a maintenance agreement in place to be connected to the secondary treatment system and to ensure your system is covered by it warrantees, if you don’t have one please provide a complete Service Contract to the Society. We will be carrying out regular audits to ensure that all houses connected to the waste water system have maintenance agreements in place as this is a condition of the Resource Consent issued by Otago Regional Council.

    Please find a Homeowners manual for your tank here

    Please find the Innoflow Systems Manual here

    More Information: Up to date details of your system can be accessed on the Innoflow web site www.innoflowtechnologies.com.
