    OCs permit extra parking on common property quite often.

    When this issue has come up at Tribunals, there have been a few things that affected lot owners have used in their challenge:

    1. There is an Australian Standard, AS 2890.1-2004 Parking Facilities Off-Street Car Parking, that councils usually specify in their planning approval.  That standard includes required maneuvering areas.  It’s unlikely an OC would be able to propose any changes unless that standard is maintained.

    2. Access to lot property can’t be blocked by an OC’s actions.

    Lot owners have successfully stopped OCs due to the above.
