I have a variation on the above which is part of a suite of renovations I am trying to effect.

Again it is an awning question. I am proposing to erect a RETRACTABLE awning to my east facing balcony to ease the heat load on my windows. It would only be extended for a couple of hours in the morning during the summer months.

The question is, is it a major or minor renovation? I accept that if it is a PERMANENT awning then it would change the exterior appearance of the lot and require a special resolution by-law. However on my research a retractable awning seems to be treated in a variety of ways. On balance it seems that you can have it considered as a minor renovation (given that is retractable) and therefore only need a ordinary resolution.

What are the views of the forum? Has anyone else had any experience with this issue? Thanks

Thanks Jimmy. Much appreciated.

Hi again – a supplementary question in relation to the above (and in asking this question I apologize in advance if it has been asked before as I am having a little bit of trouble with the search function on the Forum).

My question is ‘Can I vote on my own motion? That is, when the general meeting considers my motion for the renovation by-law as outlined above, can I vote on it?’. I am located in NSW and I am financial and will satisfy the other voting thresholds.

Thanks again
