A – The member is not eligible for this facility at this point of time and will not be contacted when a facility becomes available..
Q9 – How does the Facility Manager determine if my vessel is suitable for the vacant facility?
A – Vessel 1 on the clubs data base, as advised on the MVD form, is the Vessel that is attached to the waiting list. The Facility Manager reviews these details to determine if vessel is suitable. It is the member’s responsibility to ensure these details are kept up to date.
Q10 – The member’s vessel at the top of the list is not suitable for the released space?
A – The Facility manager will look at any outstanding relocations and move these vessels if this gets the wait listed member on to the PAC facility. If relocation does not achieve this, the process will be repeated, for the next member’s vessel on the wait list, until the released space is allocated. The member stays at the top of the wait list.
Q11 – I have been contacted by the Facility Manager and advised a facility is available. What are my choices?
A) A member with a suitable vessel can choose to:
1. accept position, pay facility fee, complete the MVD form and the member is removed from the waiting list

3. reject facility offered and remove their name form the wait list
B) A member without a vessel can choose to:
1. accept position, pay facility fee and is removed from the waiting list. The member is given three months to secure a suitable vessel and complete the MVD form.
