While the Owners Corporations Act 2006 VIC puts obligations on an OC to maintain its common property, I can’t see anything in the Act that excludes an OC from maintaining lot property if it decides to do so.
It’s actually quite commonly done in VIC.
For example the paint on some external parts of apartment buildings (the walls surrounding balconies) is technically lot property in VIC but an OC will typically decide paint them when it’s time to repaint the whole building.
For example an OC can decide to insure a whole strata complex that has no common property.
It can sometimes be cheaper or more appropriate for an OC to take on a responsibility if it affects all or most of the lots.
I’m not sure if a Special Resolution in VIC would be required.
