The termite notice that should be in your meter box
What the durable notice is, and why a missing one matters for new Manor Lakes homes.
In short: Every new home has a termite management system. The notice tells future owners what it is and how to look after it.
What it is
A durable notice, usually inside the meter box, stating the termite management system used and the recommended inspection frequency.
What we found
The notice missing at a Manor Lakes handover in October 2025.
Why it matters
Without it, you and later owners do not know what system protects the home or what voids the warranty.
What to ask for
The builder should install the notice and give you the system's documents before handover.
After you move in
Keep the documents, follow the inspection schedule and avoid building garden beds or paving over the system.
