Thank you for your replies, however we have no problems with unit entitlements in the residential owners corp.

Our problem is that there are four startas in our complex – 163 apartments, 16 retail shops, a supermarket & a council car park.

The issue is allocating costs between the four entities. The roof is shared by all & we feel the costs of roof repairs should be allocated by the ratio of floor space occupied by each entity.

I was seeking examples of other complexes such as ours

Thank you Scotlandx for your reply.  Our residential strata plan has no problem, but it is the three other entities in the Building Management Committee who believe they have  no responsibility beyond what the original Business Management Agreement specified, and have for a number of years stuck to the original allocation specified when the building complex was built.

We, the residential strata, believe that the Strata Management Statement, which outlines the % breakup of common property expenses has overlooked stating expense breakup for roof repairs & therefore we feel that an allocation based on floor space occupation of the entire building would be a fair method of allocation.

I am trying to research what other similar complexes use to allocate costs for roof repairs.
