Cite your source, please. If you can present a case that isn’t just your opinion, for instance, is a Tribunal ruling or a corner of strata law that I have missed, I am happy to put it here … and I might just turn it into a front-page post. We need to know!
Otherwise, let’s just agree to disagree.
The removal of water tanks could have been for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with changes to common property (regardless of what the owners corp chose as their avenue for change). Likewise the hypothetical shed I mentioned.
If I put a beach umbrella on my balcony, bedded in a heavy but moveable base, is that an addition to common property? I don’t think so, but I might be asked to move it because it breaches other by-laws to do with what’s allowed on balconies or the impact on the look of the building.
