both have challenges

Around 4k in $$ seriously not enough...

Try to get more...

And from past trends in other old neighborhood housing that this..

The collection somehow would reduce downtrend after few years.... Not sustainable....

Suggest you also look for security company for quotation first before you apply from town council. Find out what is the monthly security fees, plus the cost to set up the fencing, guard post, and CCTV, and wiring. Then you will know roughly how much need to be beared by 40 units. If not everyone willing to pay, then better don't set up, just enhanced your own unit's with motion CCTV and alarm system, plus motion sensor lights.


The initial cost to set up the perimeter fencing, guard post, and CCTV also will cost a lot, all need to be spread among the 40 units, plus you only have 85% who support this.
In short, you need to find out whether the security system can be maintained with 4k a month?

And outside got many funny security companies, give promise up to sky height but hire part timer sit there only. So would you and your committee members be able to monitor their performance day and night at the expense of own time? And you still need to have own member willing to do account every mth, all these based on self initiative and volunteers basis, although got very tiny salary which will be recorded in yearly audited account also

Last time my old house got abt 200 units, committee manage to collect RM12k-15k a month, and 90% spent for security fees based on audited account present in annual meeting. But my committee really work hard to maintain the security system, some time 12am went to spot check the guard post, whenever they found out the security firm is poor in service, they will just discontinue it, I sincerely appreciate for their hard work

Fees and structure in planning... Im trying to see if application is possible first hence im asking anyone with experience on this matter.

Well once if application is possible then an upfront cost and sponsorship will be there for those heavy cost item.... Now i need advise on application only not budgetary stuff.

Great advise, yes will consider this. For now we might see the feasibility to spend money for this application. As sustainability can be managed.

They need to come down from the car & open the balang themselves!
