HOA Constitution
La Paloma's Home Owner's Association is governed by it's constitution, which refers to conduct and management rules for the estate. This is a contract between the governing body made up of trustees and various home owners.
Estate Conduct Rules
Please note Conduct Rules were updated in 2012. As discussed at last AGM, we intend revising the Building guidelines to conform to updated building practice, but need to build up funds in order to do . This is an extensive exercise and will take time. Once completed this would require sign-off at an appropriate AGM or extraordinary meeting. At the same time we will update conduct rules where applicable
