I received a letter from the Strata Manager advising that I had been reported as having parked my car in the visitor car park.
No EC meeting has been held at which such reporting could have taken place by individual member(s) since the last AGM at which I resigned from the EC.
The contents of the letter are of a general nature and refer to the by-law which states that “An owner or occupier of a Lot must not park or stand any motor vehicle on common property except with the written approval of the Owners Corporation”.
If individual EC members have the right to report to the Strata Manager and, as a result of such report, the Strata Manager acts as has happened in my case, then all owners and/or residents are clearly open to bullying by such individuals.
The by-law quoted refers to common property which includes visitor car parking.
In our Strata Plan all but one garage are small single garages and no other storage space is available to owners/residents. Besides the car (which just fits in) there are 7 bikes and helmets plus 2 bogey boards and 4 collapsible chairs hanging on the walls, plus a lot of other items sitting on shelving. When our 6 grandchildren come to play each Thursday after school I have to leave the car in a visitor car space across my garage to access whatever it is we need.
The same happens when I need access to anything stored in my garage at other times.
My question is: what do other Owner Corporations do whose members have the same or similar predicaments and whose by-law on parking is the same or similar to ours?
