Here is a copy of the default strata bylaw for strata. Depending on when your strata was registered it could vary slightly.
It doesn’t matter when the by-laws were registered – it’s what bylaws were registered and they may have said nothing about parking on common property. Unlike other states NSW by-laws do not default to the “model” by-laws if notne exists that cover that issue. Demonaz needs to check the by-laws of his lot and proceed from there.
Ask him to issue a NTC immediately (has to be approved by committee) and write to the resident (copy yourself) informing him that he is in breach of bylaws and giving him a time limit to comply.
Strata Managers often have delegated authoity to issue Notices to comply – if so, EC approval is not required. The Notice To Comply does not have a ‘grace’ period; it says you must stop breaching the by-law “now and in the future”.
You’ll find the official Notice To Comply form HERE. NB: Funnily enough, the form uses parking on common property as an example of a typical by-law breach.
