There’s a very important condition attached to the by-laws that allow people to change common property – and that says that unless responsibility for affected common property is passed to the lot owner, then is stays with the owners corporation.
Section 54 (1) of the strata Act 1996 (under which this work would have been done) says, under “By-law must provide for maintenance of property”
(1) A by-law to which this Division applies must:
(a) provide that the owners corporation is to continue to be responsible for the proper maintenance of, and keeping in a state of good and serviceable repair, the common property or the relevant part of it, or
(b) impose on the owner or owners concerned the responsibility for that maintenance and upkeep.
