      Hi All

      I was awoken this morning by another resident because there was a trade person bring in flooring, underlay and equipment to lay a hard floor into one of our units.

      We do have a Flooring by-law that states that all bedrooms must remain carpeted and the flooring needs to have an acoustic standard of 45 Lnt1w  (5 star rating) .

      Attached to our by-law is an Acoustic report by a licensed acoustic engineer (also a member of AAAC) testing 8 different systems and the requirements to meet the standard stated above.

      The owners did have a sample of hard flooring tested but it failed the standard.

      They never applied for approval to lay the floor or provide us with any documentation.

      We have been told by their trades person that they are laying the floor in the bedrooms.

      When we found out about the intention to lay the flooring this morning we asked the Strata Manager to get an Interim Order from NCAT. We were told we need to have this minuted in a SC meeting for it to go ahead and that we must give 72hrs notice for the meeting.

      The floor will be laid by that time.

      What is our next step?

      Help please.
