Re: EC rejected my request for AC outdoor unit position, what to do next??

Thank you both for the detailed responses, 

I am absolutely trying to play it the right way and ultimately if my proposal is not approved I will wear it on the chin. 

Whales comment is correct in that EC has not refused install however they are ruling the location of install originally based on being visible from other lot owners, once that concern was able to be to put to bed the next case was simply that “it would set a precedent”

I personally believe the above is not a strong enough argument if I take the appropriate measures upon installation. As stated my apartment has several unique aspects within the block thus limiting any sort of “precedence setting”.

SM has advised quite clearly “EC insists you place AC on balcony”, As our AGM is some time away, the way I am seeing this pan out is at least I can attempt to go through NCAT and have the backup AGM in Q2 2015?

I imagine that the response from EC to NCAT will be along the lines of that they did not reject the install but want to raise within AGM for OC to make a decision.

My difficulty is delicately putting forward my concern to NCAT that I feel based on AGM attendance it will be proxy voted in favour of EC decision thus am seeking an Adjudicator decision to have my issue fairly reviewed. 

Hopefully this makes sense, 

Thanks again
