My understanding of the Sustainability Infrastructure amendment is that enables the passing of Sustainability Infrastructure Resolutions for such things as solar installations with a simple 50% majority.
Issues around the ownership of panels, common property rights and the responsibilities for maintenance will clearly have to be addressed in a manner that binds both the affected lot owners and the OC. In other words where individual owners are impacting on common property there will still need to be by-laws. Even if the solar infrastructure is OC owned, there will still most likely be a need for a by-law to regulate owner usage etc.
This amendment does not do away with the need for by-laws but in effect means that by-laws relating to sustainability infrastructure can be passed with a 50% majority of those present at a meeting.
