Agreed Jimmy with the oldies making up their own rules sigh. Contributing to this thread, our complex of 9 in WA has 7 visitor’s bays that are used for just that and also for any 2nd cars that we have granted written approval for parking. Currently our resident vehicle numbers allow for it. Only 3 units with 2 cars. We have an extreme amount of common gardens that we wish to convert into 4 more bays. Allowing for 11 in total.
Each unit gets a second permanent designated bay for their own use ( in addition to their carports ) or their visitors/tradies etc plus 2 spare. Win, win right ? Parking issues sorted, adds to our property value and allowing for the possibility of increase in vehicles in the complex. No more dramas yay.
Nope, we got road blocked by our local shire/council in the initial planning and surveying stages. They have stipulated they will not and will never give approval for us to develop the landscaped areas.
