Sorry Jimmy, that Act reference is from the NSW Act. I have found nothing similar in the Tasmanian Act. It is certainly a section that I will be recommending be included in the Act when the Tasmanian Government finally gets around to its long promised review of the Act. The Tasmanian act is pretty basic!
Thankyou for everyone’s input. I am now inclining to the view that @kaindub is correct, that we are unable to use BC funds to repair private Lot property.
As @Sir Humphrey has suggested, we do have the first three suggested by-laws relating to the owners’ responsibility to maintain their property in good repair. However our only useful Act reference is that the BC’s functions include “to carry out other functions for the benefit of the owners”. So I believe we will have to go down the route of a SGM to give permission to the BC to undertake the building wide project for the benefit of all owners and to provide approval for a means of distribution of the costs (probably in line with unit entitlements).
This will not be fun.
