Hello, my question relates to common property and use of. I am confused by the wording “ centreline” that divides common property and a lot. We have a request to add lights to two external back walls facing a courtyard adjacent to a kitchen and bedroom. My SM states its classed as an internal wall and so permitted without any approval etc. Please clarify thank you

The strata manager may be correct.

You need to look at the strata plan. The thick line probably goes around the boundary of the courtyard. Anything inside the thick line is considered lot property.

The centreline rule applies only to outer walls.

However approval may still be required where you have a bylaw in respect of additions which alter the look of the lot.

Do the lights shine “outside” of your lot? Do they interfere with anyone else?

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
