thanks for the quick reply JimmyT – my concern was that reference to $600k fines and 5 year jail terms was now being used repeatedly as a blunt instrument negotiating tool by a resident asking for a new light ('safety feature') where one had never been installed or deemed necessary in the original design.
I suppose I could extrapolate to the recent series of articles in smh claiming owners corporations were at risk of being sued if they didn't install safety grill/mesh outside every balcony – so by your logic, we have been warned a kid could be killed falling off a balcony – so if we don't spend a million dollars installing stupid ugly mesh or security grilles around every balcony for the entire building, am I now liable to be fined $600,000 and go to jail for 5 years ?
Do you see my concern ?
