Eddington Cottage, Point Lonsdale

Emergency Procedures and Evacuation Plan

 

Eddington Cottage access doors are deadlocked as a security measure that is necessary given it is often vacant.

You will be given a key for your arrival; there is a second key on the kitchen bench, plus two garage remotes.

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that when you are inside the building you leave one key in the doorway to the outdoor patio area, and one key with garage remote attached in the internal doorway to the garage.

This will allow for quick egress in the event of an emergency, from either end of the house.
