There’s an odd little question in this week’s Forum, and one that I admit I didn’t take seriously at first.
See, this bloke likes to get his kit off in the privacy of his own garden, blocked off from prying eyes by high fences and the house itself.
Nobody’s bothered because nobody can see him. Except … someone has just applied to build a four-storey unit block next to his patch, meaning he will be in full view of about a quarter of its residents.
You have to have some sympathy for the poor chap. He was there first and he didn’t ask them to build their apartments.
Can he get it put into the DA that they mustn’t complain about neighbours nuding up? Can a nudist’s need for privacy block a high-rise development? Plus the difference between a naturist and a naturalist. That’s HERE.
What do you do when you apply for a pet and the strata committee says “can you wait for an answer while we bring in a no-pets by-law?” That’s HERE.
We took our owners corp to NCAT to get a strata manager appointed – and won! How do we avoid paying the other side’s $80k legal bill? That’s HERE.
Who checks the defects on a new unit bought off the plan? That’s HERE.
When you are calculating a quorum – 25 per cent of the number of lot owners – do you round down or up? And does it really matter and more? That’s HERE.
Do I need approval at a general meeting for a minor renovation? The answer is yes … and no. That’s HERE.
