I wonder if the committee could charge the cost back to the owner (who could then claim it on their Home & Contents Insurance) under Section 82.
Probably not, but worth a thought.
82 Individual contributions may be larger if greater insurance costs
(1) If the use to which a lot in a strata scheme is put causes an insurance premium for the strata scheme to be greater than it would be if it were not put to that use, so much of a contribution payable by the owner of the lot as is attributable to insurance premiums may, with the consent of the owner, be increased to reflect the extra amount of the premium.
(2) The Tribunal may, on application, make an order for payment of contributions of a different amount to one or more contributions levied or proposed by an owners corporation on an owner if the Tribunal is of the opinion that the owner‘s consent has been unreasonably refused under this section.
