None – but I assume that in the absence of an MDU Agreement it is Austar/Foxtel’s policy to use a Plan’s Executive Committee as the conduit (sorry) to secure the required Consent, and as I recalled, their Rep. advised that they’d prefer to have the MDU Agreement in place to avoid that repetitive step; they just don’t like including conditions other than their standard ones.
Anyway…. whilst not disputing the right of the Owners Corporation (O/C) to remove unapproved additions to its Common Property, in my humble opinion (I detest internet slang) any reasonable person would regard that as being totally unreasonable, particularly if they were then paying for a pay-tv service that they couldn’t receive, and in the case of tenants, one for which they’d possibly obtained the prior consent of their Landlord.
TINALO but I believe that if UN-FAIR wants to see the whole thing and/or its consequences played out in a Court, then by all means arrange for the removal of the cabling, conduit, and satellite dishes; remembering of course that the latter are Foxtel’s property! Come to think of it, as a sanity check, if UN-FAIR has a Strata Manager then perhaps the Executive Committee could instruct them to arrange for that removal, and see what reaction results; I’ll recon they’ll run a mile!
I still think that persistent approaches to Foxtel to encourage them to do the right thing with the past installations by their contractors would see a better outcome; but that’s just MPO.
Oh and by the way, our O/C’s original decision to delegate me the authority to enter into a MDU Agreement covering satellite dishes and cabling on specific areas of the Common Property was specially resolved at a General Meeting.
