Thanks JimmyT,
You are correct that for the purposes of maintenance and repair the balconies are common property. I wish it was that simple.
The balconies are actually included in their strata unit entitlements/levies, and the patio that extends from our unit is not. The registered strata plan does not include the patio/landing in the drawings (which is unfortunate).
We pay our share of strata fees just like anyone else and have contributed to the special levies for this major works, but some of the owners on the EC have an issue with us not paying for the extra entitlements not included on the strata plan for the patio. We would be prepared to pay that, but they want to go to vote on special resolution before we have even discussed this.
Does that change your perspective in any way?
Regards
Charlie
