Fees will be applicable to all homes in Rockland Park once the HOA amenities are available. Fee notices will be mailed/emailed to every property in Rockland Park and information will be posted on the Rockland Park connect website and in the e-newsletter.

Fees will initially be due the month the HOA facility opens (pro-rated through to March 31, 2025).

Moving forward, fees will be due on April 1 of each year. Members will receive an annual fee notice in March of each year. There will be opportunities for one-time payments or monthly installment plans. Get in touch with the HOA team to work out what works best for your household.

$600 (+GST & annual adjustment amount) per year for single family homes, laned homes, duplex homes.

$450 (+GST & annual adjustment amount) per year for multi family homes (condos, townhomes)

During design of the community, two fee rates were established to support affordability in Rockland Park. Additionally, generally multi-family homes have fewer residents residing in the home and therefore, fewer residents using the HOA amenities. 

HOA fees are tied to the Consumer Price Index (inflation) and can be increased above the Encumbrance amount ($600 registered on SF, 75% of that or $450 for Multi Family) only by the annual Consumer Price Index amount.

The funds are allocated to the administration and operation of the HOA amenities, including the HOA facility, exclusive park, and entry features, as well as to service the HOA’s debit.

Audited financial statements are sent to every member in the Annual General Meeting package and the annual budget is sent to every member in the annual fee package. 

The Lodge and HOA park amenities were financed through contributions by the developer as well as through a mortgage with a bank. The mortgage represents a continuing financial obligation of the HOA, with a portion of the HOA fees allocated to servicing the debt.

The developer generously donated the land on which the HOA facility and park are situated, as well as the secondary building on the HOA site, which includes the concession, additional change rooms and a multi-use room. This building also provides secondary access to the park on busy days. Additionally, the developer funded other development costs and provided construction management services through to completion of these amenities, as well continuing to provide ongoing financial support to the HOA during the build-out of the community.

Yes, the Rockland Park HOA is a not-for-profit company, registered under the Alberta Companies Act.

The annual HOA fee is an encumbrance attached to the title of every property in Rockland Park. The encumbrance fees support and fund the HOA in order to operate and maintain the HOA maintenance programs and provide events for the lasting enjoyment of its members, Rockland Park residents.

Members of the Association (Rockland Park residents) elect the Resident Directors annually at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM is typically held in November. 

The Board of Directors consists of seven (7) members in good standing of the community and three (3) representatives of Brookfield Residential. The Board meets on a regular basis to: ensure policies are properly set, review the annual operating budget, be the voice of fellow residents for HOA-related matters, provide input on the HOA, and participate in community events. There is a management agreement in place with Brookfield Residential until the turnover date (when the community is substantially complete); accordingly, Brookfield Residential holds the President, Treasurer, and Secretary position until that time. Brookfield abstains from voting on several occasions, leaving most decisions to the resident directors.

Yes. Community Associations are volunteer organizations, established with support by the City, and are dependent upon sponsorship and fundraising in order to operate. Community Associations are known to be involved in organized minor sports such as soccer, baseball, and hockey, as well as being the political voice of the community. Community Associations work with City Officials in establishing social policies, they are the voice of residents if playground zone areas are required, speed zone reductions are requested, issues arise regarding signage control and other potential community safety issues. Membership to the Community Association is voluntary and could involve members from several different communities.
