    In Victoria:  While floor structures can be common property, floor surfaces are usually lot property.  That’s tiles, floating floors, carpets etc.  It can depend on the Plan of Subdivision but that’s the usual.

    In which case the issue falls to noise and nuisance rather than a common property issue.

    In Victoria: If an OC receives a complaint about a breach of the OC Rules or the OC Act it can decide to do nothing  about it.   It should however give reasons for that decision.

    So these matters can indeed becomes a lot v lot matter.   All the OC Rules and the OC Act still apply but the lot owner (or occupier) might need to start any formal action themselves.
