The ideal in my mind is you all get them done if/as required …
Doesn’t really work if only one person (for now) actively wants this, but I can see where you’re headed with this.
One by-law that states agreed colours, styles, ongoing responsibility and level of certification of installer, would be there on the books for the next person to use as their template. If the next owner with awning-envy wanted one too, they could use the terms of that by-law.
The question would remain, who pays for the original by-law and general meeting etc. I think there would be an argument for splitting the bill between the original owner and the owners corp, with a payment structure for every other owner who wanted to use the same by-law .
There’s a way of doing this where only people who want awnings now or in the future pay for by-laws as they require them but they don’t have to pay ten times for the same piece of paper. Perhaps it’s one catch-all by-law but individual owners pay for each amendment that basically includes their lot under the same terms and conditions.
Brilliant ideas gratefully received (assuming Flame Tree hasn’t already said this and I’m too dim to understand).
