Interesting!
Further to the post-script to my #8, I stumbled across this provision in the Strata Schemes Management Act that, depending upon the financial impacts, may convince the Owners of short-term lets to reconsider their position.
77 Effect of use of lot on insurance premiums
If the use to which a lot is put causes an insurance premium for the strata scheme to be greater than it would be if it were not put to that use, so much of a contribution payable by the owner of the lot as is attributable to insurance premiums may, with the consent of the owner, be increased to reflect the extra amount of premium.
Interestingly, the proposed Bill additionally provides for an Owners Corporation to seek Orders for increased contributions in the circumstances (above) if an Owner’s consent is unreasonably refused.
