    If one of our residents did turn the power off to another resident (and I’d hope they never would) , could and would the police take any action or would they see it as a domestic civil matter and leave it to the OC to solve? 

    Interesting that, as you pointed out, the Act refers to the “works” rather than the “supply”.

    Given that the police won’t interfere on strata issues unless they are preventing or dealing with a crime, you’re probably not going to get arrested for tripping the kill switch on a noisy neighbour.

    Cops deal with noisy parties because they are breaking the local council’s by-laws, not because they are breaching strata rules. 

    The son of a friend of mine is an electrician with a pass key to “every utilities room in NSW”.  He has offered to come round and cut off parties provided he gets the call-out fee for switching them back on again.

    Tempting …
