Hi Mac_1 – i undestand your point about me unambiguously breaking the by-law, but I want you to also know that I have approached the strata manager and chairman of the body corporate asking for written permission to park encroaching on common property.
instead of voting and giving a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer, there was alot of name calling at the AGM, all emanating from one certain gentleman i will not identify on this forum (!) and all directed at me – i was compared to ‘Hitler marching on poland’ and ’emperor hirohito sacking the south pacific’ (!) – make of that what you will, i really have no idea what the fuss is all about 
The strata manager said nothing (i dont blame him) but then has the gall to send a circular out a few months later telling everyone to be on the guard against bullying by the body corporate hahaha
If the body corporate could give me written permission,there would be no contravention by me of by-law 2. As i have previously said, there is no obstruction or interference with other lot users when i overpark across the lines – it now comes down to the fact that some people think my squeezing in the three cars ‘looks messy’.
But then what next? Are they going to complain the cars look ‘messy’ because they are not colour-matched or are dirty? btw – i try to keep the cars spotless…
as it stands, now i have to go through mediation (again!) to get an order for adjudication on getting a licence to park on common property (s144 SSMA) and an order for exclusive use of common property (s158 SSMA).
can the body corporate continue to withold written permission on subjective grounds (ie 3 cars parked in the space look ‘messy’ and ‘unsightly’?). is this considered ‘unreasonable’ behaviour by the body corporate?
with regard to an earlier comment about ‘steady creep of rogue parking’, i AGREE the same rules are applicable to everyone, and i am NOT exempt from them.
If you feel that you want to park partially or fully on common property, and it doesnt obstruct or interfere with anyone else’s enjoyment of the common property, then it should be allowed subject to written permission. Afterall, you’re not hurting anyone. I am however highly critical of a Body Corporate which will UNREASONABLY withold written permission on purely subjective grounds.
