The Victorian government has produced an “EV-Ready Guide for Owners Corporations” that can be accessed here =>
https://www.energy.vic.gov.au/renewable-energy/zero-emission-vehicles/ev-charging-in-strata-buildingsWhile applicable to Victorian strata laws, the guide is very comprehensive, and the general guidance will apply to strata residents in other states. Highly recommended for strata residents wanting the have EV charging in their strata buildings!

There is an amount of fudging of the level of approvals required in Victoria. The guide suggests that only a simple majority is required when instaling EV charging through the general maintanance provisions, but a special resolution (75% of votes) may be required when there is a level of complexity and disagreement.
In NSW, EV charging is specifically identified in strata law as a sustainability measure and therefore the required common property by-laws only require a simple majority. Impending legislation will see that flexibility extended to individuals who wish to install their own EV charging in their parking bays.If you want to be alerted when anyone replies to your posts or responds to this topic, please register and login, then you will be able to subscribe to the topic.
