Hi,
I’m in NSW. i have water leaking through a structural wall (at the floor junction) into my garage when it rains. i understand that because a garage is not a liveable area the OC doesn’t need to fix it as it doesn’t need to be waterproofed etc. However, the water has already caused slipping and quite a bad accident and is also causing pooling of water in my allocated storage space. More importantly i am concerned that the lack of waterproofing on the other side of the wall (driveway and garden bed) is causing damage to the structural wall (which i am having other issues with regarding movement and water ingress). what avenues are there for me to get them to take responsibility? even if i had the resources to stop the leaking i couldn’t anyway because the wall is common property. do i really just have to put up with water coming in along with all the damage it causes simply because it is not a “liveable area”?
Thanks in advance.
