    No by-law can be valid when it supersedes a superior law.

    Number one, you could argue, turns common property into permanent parking spaces, which would be in violation of your Development Approval, and does not adequately compensate the owners corporation for removal of common property for use by individual owners.

    Number two would be invalid because it infringes your legal right to photograph anything on or from public property, or from your private property, subject to specific laws related to behaviour that you would reasonably expect to be private (like bathing or sexual activity).  Technically, if you are on public land or your own property the law means you can photograph someone in their home washing their dishes, but not taking a shower. However, the owners corp can restrict behaviour on common property, so it’s all about where you stand when you are taking the pictures.

    Like number one, number three also contravenes your DA and does not adequately compensate the owners corporation for removal of common property for use by individual owners.
