Re: EC has a false sense of security

I do believe that for changes that affects the safety of any building, structure or common property and does not improve or enhance thecommon property a unanimous decision by the owners are required as the majority cannot diminishing the value of a single lot.

I fear you are getting into semantics here. I reckon they are pretty safe to go ahead with this and present the plan for a vote because it is arguable that the whole point is to improve security and enhance common property and let anyone who thinks otherwise argue it through the CTTT and the courts after the matter. The clause you refer to is clearly designed to prevent a majority of owners planning something that detrimentally affects a building  (because they benefit but a minority of owners don't).  This is clearly not the case here and you'd be hard put to convince a judge or an adjudicator otherwise.

I also think that under normal circumstances, this would only require a simple majority vote by the Owners Corp at a general meeting as it's part of the process of maintaining an upgrading facilities to adapt to changes in the community as a whole (but I may be wrong).
