An owner in our building of 38 lots has navigated his way on to the Executive Committee by way of vote gathering, including proxies.

Problem is, he has paving in the Common Property garden area next to his ground floor unit, illegally laid years ago before his time, which is in breach of the NSW Strata Titles Act and has been slated for removal in an ongoing Common Property refurbishment project.

This owner and new EC member is hell-bent on his ‘garden area’ not being bought into line and has become quite aggressive about it, writing insulting emails and being rude to those who try to point out the obvious calling us ‘ground floor haters’ and such.

I am not on the Executive Committee but believe he has a conflict of interests and should resign now his ‘agenda’ is known.

I see it as cut-and-dried that his pavers should go, no EC vote needed, as the alterations are clearly in breach of the NSW Strata Titles Act. I don’t believe the EC even needs to vote, they just should be removed at Owners Corporation expense as part of the ongoing project. The owner / EC member is acting in his own interests, not in the interests of the Owners Corporation.

Am I right? Could he also be asked to step down or something?
