      this is a 12 unit development in NSW. 

      My son recently purchased a unit in a 1960s building. He wants to renovate kitchen (minor reno) and bathroom (major reno) as well as knock a hole through form lounge to kitchen to improve lighting and air and appearance of unit (major rworks with engineers approval etc). The Strata Manager advised him it would cost $1000 per application and it could take up to 12 months for approval. (shock horror!)  

      He has submitted an application for all 3 jobs in one application and there will be an SGM for owners to vote on the proposals. 

      It seems like an excessive sum to be paid for this – is this something that is a result of the new laws? in our own building we granted permission for a bathroom reno by simple application and a nod (with conditions regarding access, garbage, professional tradies etc) 

      Any advice/information on this would be appreciated. What happens for example if one or all proposals do not get a majority vote? or if there is not a quorum? 

      many thanks

      MC.
