Update: after initially advising they weren’t concerned council now advises that the owners doing renovations are in breach of the DA conditions. Council then passed the issue to the private certifier.
As advised previously; the warning notice sent by the strata committee to these renegade owners was ignored and the building manager even threatened and harassed. The private certifier has advised of serving a notice on the owners corporation for this breach of DA which is unfortunate as the strata committee acted immediately.
One of these particular owners (who is rather notorious in the complex) even had the hide to lie to the strata committe by claiming that the issue was resolved within an hour and that the strata committee was just being malicious and vindictive despite the fact use of these unguarded balconies continued for another 4 days. This was subsequently confirmed by the private certifier and the real-estate agent attending to one of the units involved.
At this stage ithe renegade owners seem to be superficially complying but there remain a few outstanding issues.
