I really can’t see why the strata manager is saying this. The Act allows for by-laws just like this one, unless there is some other issue like structural changes or something to do with the electricity supply that would impact on the rest of the building in a way that goes beyond a minor renovation.
In any case, the Act allows the committee, with its delegated powers, to establish reasonable conditions on the installation.
Your strata manager should be asked to check with her superiors … unless she’s from one of theses companies that sets out to pump up their Schedule B charges wherever possible, in which case a general meeting would be a “nice little earner.”
Just ask why she’s not following the law. She must have some good reason or you can just go ahead and make the decision at committee.
