daphne – if you read Jimmy’s post (#2) and particularly the quote from Sect 117 of the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act then like me you’ll conclude that whilst your Plan’s Special By-Law (SBL) is perhaps intended to qualify Sect 117, it’s superfluous.
The SBL cannot prohibit residents and their guests from using any part of their Lot/s or the Common Property, and in any case who’s to say that the use of those areas at any time couldn’t create a nuisance or hazard to others? It’s the nature of the use that’s at issue, not the time.
