Thank you for your reply.
The resolution has not been passed. The tree problem was not discussed however there is the assumption that this issue will be “rubber stamped” at the next AGM.
The Chairman is unavailable at present; however, I will be asking him to put forward his reasoning for this amendment.
What I would like to know is:-
1. Is it possible for the responsibility of a tree, which is in a private garden, to be transferred to the rest of the Unit owners?
A council representative suggested that the owner of the tree would have to transfer the title of the land, with the tree on it, to the body corporate in order for all Unit holders to take on the responsibility.
2. A question regarding the insurance policy for the tree. How would the other Unit owners insure against possible damage caused by this tree if we didn’t own it? The tree, if blown over or struck by lightening, (not an impossible scenario) would cause damage to property, cars in the street and passers-by.
