That's the way to do it. There's no obligation on the EC or Owners Corp to approve changes to Common Property that only benefit one person. They have to take rsponsibility for ALL costs associated with this as well as ongoing repairs and maintenance. And beware the “nod and a wink” approval – if it's not formalised as a special resolution, responsibility for repairs and maintenance will fall back on the Owners Corp if and when the unit is sold.
