We are a strata plan of four town houses. When they were first built in 2005, the lots were divided with colourbond fencing and matching colourbond side gates. Now the gates need repairs but the strata managing agent claims the gates are not common property and that each owner is responsible for the cost. Side gates do not appear on any list of what constitutes common property and on the site plan are outside the thick lines delineating the buildings.

Is there some precedent that includes side gates as common property?

Is it possible for the Owners’ Corporation (there are only four of us) to introduce a by-law naming the side gates as common property?

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
