To clarify, are we dealing with lighing at the Strata Plan you are at? Or a neighbouring Strata Plan or Torrens Title? And are the lights in question the usual strata poly-sphere lights or directional spot lights.

I’m sure this falls under responsibility of the strata to repair and maintain and repair common property.

And as the poster points out, there is a risk of personal injury. That the committee now knows of this risk, it’s advisable to address it. Down the track the on sequences and penalties could be severe.

Thought so.

Lot owner and their leasing agent ended up addressing the issue.

As for the SC, their decision just cements their “they’re above the law” attitude. I guess they are just older versions of the “bullies” that the Sunday paper front page mentioned (just grown up versions).

They’re also nasty to their neighbours also, blasting them with high powered spot lights for over 4 years. The SC decided to remove the compliant driveway diffused driveway lighting (polysphere) and install double high powered LED spot lights instead, pointing them into the neighbours townhouses.

Thank you for that.

Have asked our Strata Management to communicate to current Lot owners to establish a by-law. This is only fair as another lot is requesting to do theirs and they are going through the proper processes.

Have to add that Lot owner who sold up after doing illegal bathroom reno (no permission, no by-law, etc) was Vendor as well as the Estate Agent (same person). Obviously failed to declare that information to the new owners.

Forgot to add I am not on the SC.

However being a lot owner, what position am I in if the SC decides to possibly get it wrong and in this case someone dies because of a bee swarm of CP they refused to address.

They knew it was there and avoided it like the plague, the furthest townhouses where it initiated from drove through it, the townhouse it was at used the garage door away from it (entering and exiting really quickly as they have internal access from garage).
