Why would the Owners Corp pay for a by-law that only benefits a few owners?
Maybe the bylaw should be generic to cover ALL alterations to common property such that any alterations done by an owner benefiting only that owner remains the responsibility of that owner to maintain the improvement for ever. This would apply whether the alteration was approved or not.
With what I know about common property in NSW I think this ought to be mandatory for EVERY strata in NSW to ensure the strata doesn’t become responsible for approved or unapproved alterations done by lot owners but not registering a SBL.
I just wonder how many ordinary motions are passed in NSW granting permission for changes by a OC (without a SBL) not realizing they are committing the strata to maintain said alteration for the indefinite future.
