QLD Q: We are about to repair our driveway for cracks and leaks to the underground car park. We are looking at carrying out the repair in three stages. Can this be treated as three seperate expenses or is this in breach of the regulations?
NSW Q: Our neighbour drilled into our balcony to install an awning shade. What do we do now? Who is responsible if there is future damage due to the installation?
ACT Q: The committee has a number of major issues that need to be resolved but the secretary is trying to filter all information. Is this a breach of the UTMA Code of Conduct?
QLD: If a Body Corporate has never had an income, do they need to lodge a tax return every year to declare no income or would a single notice informing there will never be an income suffice?
