      We have a small block and some 20 years ago one owner undertook a major renovation which increased the total building area of his lot by around 20% The renovation extended into the existing courtyard and did not affect any common property except the area inside the new walls. The owners corporation at the time approved the renovation and it was also approved by the local Council.

      However, we have now discovered that the additions were never noted on a new strata plan and the same owner has been paying levies based on the original unit entitlement even though the actual building footprint is now much greater. I realise that changing unit entitlement is somewhat difficult but the EC are wondering where we stand in relation to insurance and particularly the legal obligation to actually carry out repairs to the additions. We have suggested to the owner that he engage a surveyor to present an amended strata plan to the EC for approval. 

      Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
