SA Q: A lot owner is a volunteer and looks after the gardens for free. If the body corporate pays this owner to paint the building, are there any insurance implications?
QLD Q: Our by-laws stipulate bins are the responsibility of each lot. Due to space restrictions, each lot doesn't have a dedicated bin, and no one person wishes to be responsible for community bins. Council hasn't helped. What do we do?
QLD: As an owner of a single lot, am I able to nominate myself, plus another owner, to the committee? I’d like to change the chairperson without losing my spot on the committee.
NSW Q: Without permission, residents in our complex planted seeds to grow food like sweet potatoes and chillies on the common property. How do we stop this?

VIC Survey: Evaluation of the current management of repairs and maintenance work in medium-rise and high-rise strata-titled apartment developments in Melbourne
Researchers at the University of Melbourne
This research aims to understand how repairs and maintenance of common property in strata-titled buildings are managed. We want to gain insights into the repair process from identification to resolution. Additionally, we will explore how building information models (BIM) can be improved and utilized by OC Committees and building managers for better outcomes.
