I’m afraid Jimmy I’m not making myself very clear.
I don’t believe a SBL is required for ANY common property upgrade done by the Strata, it just needs to be approved by a Special Resolution and that is it (no SBL required).
The rules regarding improvements are the same in QLD and virtually all our upgrades have been done via Ordinary Resolutions or just EC motions (ours is NOT a well run Strata). This has been done here for expediency and originally ignorance and I don’t mind bending the rules if it results in a better environment.
