Hi all, i am new to the forum. Have been living in strata for a while and on a committee for over 11 in my previous strata. Having just bought a townhouse in (NSW) – Sydney area, i was somewhat horrified to see in the electrical switch room / MDF board room the following items stored.
hoses, long peices of 4 x 2 wood, plastic bins (old type) with fold in handles that kept lid on, wheelbarrow and the 'perfect thing' to keep in a switchroom, 4 large tins of Paint the complex was recently painted. the switchroom is Full; it's a wonder that Sydney Electricity hasn't said anything to the Body Corporate.
in my previous unit the switchroom did catch fire (before) i lived there, one can still see the scortch marks on the walls, so we never kept anything in the switchroom except an aluminium ladder and a few fluro globes. i thought / understood it was illegal to store things in a switchroom?
i have been searching for any rules on the internet as to using a strata switchroom as storage!! can't find anything. does anyone know what the rules are?? i have alerted our strata manager who inturn was / is going to let the committee know – i understand from the strata manager there is a tyrant on the committee who is quite a force to be reconned with and want his way – well bring on the AGM we will see…
