A work order has been issued by the strata manager to repair a large internal structural crack in a boundary wall of my apartment. However, I have been informed by the strata manager the work order does not include repainting the wall to return it to the original condition. The cost of repainting the boundary wall after repair rendering will be paid by me. Is this correct?

There used to be a provision under the “who’s responsible?” common property memorandum that the owners corp had to pay for painting if the paintwork was damaged in the course of fixing a CP defect.
That seems to have gone – probably because of arguments over how the paint was damaged – by the defect (not covered) or by the repair (covered).
It might be worth calling your strata insurer directly to see what they say.
