Hello Kaindub
Frankly the comments to date in the shower leak thread , do not answer my question.
My understanding is that water proofing attached to a common property wall or floor is OC responsibility. But water proofing attached to a wall or floor that is not part ofcommonn property is the responsibility of the lot owner. The question which is had to get a definitive answer on is when is a wall or floor lot owner property and not common property. For example in a two storey town house with no lots above or below, is the upper floor within the town house owners responsibility or Body Corporate.
PS. Have you read any strata insurance policy documents? I think you will find that water damage by a burst pipe may be covered, depending on if its in a common property wall or lot owners wall. But a leaking shower recess is highly likely not to be covered by insurance.
