Just a quick reminder. Our Ask A Strata Question serve does not resume until February. Feel free to submit questions via our Contact page, however, please be aware there will be an extended delay in getting back to you.
NSW Q: To help solve our resident parking problems, we would like to convert a visitor car park into a unit car space. Our strata manager tells us we can do this without having to comply with our development consent. Is this correct?
QLD Q: A lot owner with majority voting rights has installed CCTV cameras without approval. He refuses to allow footage to be viewed. Can we have the CCTV Cameras removed?
NSW Q: I have security grills in place on my bedroom windows which could not be removed during an emergency. Are there apartment fire regulations to have a quick release system installed to allow for quick exit if needed?
QLD Q: Our Annual Budget includes a single line entry of $50,000 in the Administrative Fund, simply stating ‘Consultant’. Is this permitted given that it does not apply to specific maintenance, insurance and other recurrent spending?
QLD Q: I live in a complex of 4 units. If I was to install solar panels on my roof which would not impact on any of the other units would they be insured by our Body Corporate Insurance?
