Apartment towers and parcels
About 75% of Belconnen's homes were apartments and 64% were rented at the 2021 Census. In a tower, the weak points are usually shared: car park gates, lobby doors and parcel rooms. Ask the building manager how access fobs are controlled, never hold the door for strangers, and use a parcel locker if you can.
