We are pre 1974 property and in NSW.

One owner with back courtyard wishes to update the courtyard. in doing so he wanted to lower the level of the courtyard. so he has leveled it out but then came into contact with common property storm water pipe that runs across his courtyard from 4 other courtyards above and joins his property and then continues on to 3 courtyards below.

so he has dug up the common property storm water pipe running across his property got a licenced plumber in to lower the pipe by about 30 to 40cm (elbow joint) replaced the pipe with pvc. all this has been done without permission. (this is not the first time he has just ‘done works’ without permission / or consultation. surprisingly there was nothing wrong with the pipes/

the strata mgr says we have to have a meeting to give permission. however, this owner has interfered with common property that services other lots is there not a Strata Act Law that says he should be fined for doing said works? or do we have to go to a meeting with owners to give him permission or not.

we would welcome a solution
