New Members

The front gate controls access to the Harbour. EVERY vehicle traveling into the community in the through lane (left of the guard shack) is required to display a current (colored) AHPOA decal. Front gate decals are issued to new residents at no cost as part of your registration process. 

 

The Back Gate is controlled by an automatic security arm that opens for active Aquia Harbour RFID decals only. RFID decals are only issued to active AHPOA members and there is a fee for new and replacement RFIDs. For FY24 and FY25 this fee is $15.The address of the back gate from inside the Harbour is 3242 Titanic Drive. From outside the Harbour it is 800 Decatur Road. Recommendation – When giving directions to family or delivery people, especially if you live in the 3rd Section, tell them to program the FRONT GATE address into their GPS first. Then when they arrive, they can change the GPS to your home address. The Google and WAZE algorithms will try to send visitors and deliveries to the Back Gate where they will be denied access and sent on a 10-mile trip to the Front Gate.

 

Please ensure you are registering your guests. The Aquia Harbour Guard Shack/ Front Gate is staffed 24/7. Residents without a current (coloured) decal on their vehicle and visitors (guests and vendors) should use the lane to the right of the guard shack where the gate guard will verify that the visitor is either a current resident or has been authorized by a current resident to enter. Residents can register their visitors by using their GATE SENTRY VISITOR access system account https://www.gatesentry.com/, which is the preferred method, or by calling the gate 540-659-4600. Note that cameras are in use at and around the Guard Shack facility.

In general, lots are expected to be kept “tidy” (neat and in order). Because this can be a subjective standard, the AHPOA has provided some guidance regarding what is expected by our Board of Directors. If your lot is found to be in violation, the CVO will send a friendly letter, email or phone call indicating that you have a specific issue in need of attention. If the problem is not corrected within a certain period, the CVO will send an official violation notice. Please make sure you read the CVO List to understand all the compliance standards. https://aquiaharbour.org/resources/cvo-list/
