Apologies for the delay – sometimes I hold off answering questions myself to give other Forum users the chance to respond. Obviously, I forgot to check and see if that had occurred.
It’s an established principle in strata that if the owners corp damages lot property while repairing common property, it has to pay for the repair to the property it damaged.
And it has to reinstate the lot property to at least the condition it was in before. There should be no quibbling about this and if they drag their feet, call Fair Trading or initiate a request for mediation prior to taking action at NCAT.
