The Secretary does not wish to become ‘involved’ & new SM very busy as off OS next week. Guess the next question is, should we send letter to Building Company or take the word of overseer?
According to the Strata Community Australia’s mostly excellent “Who’s responsible …?” document, a fence between a lot and an external property is 100 percent common property and an Owners Corporation responsibility.
The Owners Corp has a duty to maintain and repair common property. without limit. Time to fire off a letter to your strata manager and secretary pointing this out, if only for future reference. (By the way, a secretary who ‘doesn’t want to get involved’ shouldn’t really be on the EC).
There’s no point in the fence being fixed until the work is finished. But you could find out the name of the developer (not the builder) and politely request them to pay for gardeners to come round NOW and fix up the damage to your garden.
