Plans in place to manage Florida Road precinct during lockdown

AS the full impacts of the nationwide lock-down come into effect, the Florida Road UIP vows to continue delivering essential services throughout the period while still respecting the call for isolation and safeguarding the health and safety of its service providers and precinct management.

The UIP’s structured precinct management response will continue to actively support the authorities and ensure the precinct remains safe and protected over this critically important period, incorporating a series of special interventions.

Public areas will be closed until further notice, however the UIP has special authorisation from the authorities for its Precinct Managers to carry out on the ground patrols, twice a day, seven days a week.

Reporting and following up on municipal faults remain a priority, and as the UIP’s eyes and ears during the lockdown, the Precinct Managers will be issued with clearly identifiable reflector vests and vehicle signage branded ‘Precinct Management – Essential Service’.

As private security is deemed an essential service, the full precinct security contingent will continue to be on duty 24 hours per day to ensure the safety of private property and businesses.

The public can keep updated through latest news updates and by checking the UIP’s social media pages.
Emergency helplines will be continually manned and will be open to all those who need assistance.

In the interest of the community’s well-being, the precinct management team also has full operational protocol to report on any non-compliance with lockdown regulations and urges the public to report any suspicious or non-compliant activity in the precinct.

There will be no on-ground precinct cleaning and utility staff however Precinct Managers will be there to co-ordinate waste removal, and the management team will also serve as first-responders to fault reporting to the Municipality which will continue to be attended to. Security personnel have been briefed to cover basic cleaning in order to keep the precinct as maintained as possible.

The Florida Road UIP urges members and residents to engage with the team:
