Can the SC decide to pave a common garden area without council or approval at a general meeting?
In a word, no. Under section 108 (below) a special resolution would be required.
So might council planning approval as this could affect drainage which could impact on surrounding areas.
(1) Procedure for authorising changes to common property
An owners corporation or an owner of a lot in a strata scheme may add to the common property, alter the common property or erect a new structure on common property for the purpose of improving or enhancing the common property.
(2) Any such action may be taken by the owners corporation or owner only if a special resolution has first been passed by the owners corporation that specifically authorises the taking of the particular action proposed.
