all other solutions are pretty much unworkable, illegal, temporary or not affordable.
I know plenty of strata schemes that adapt their by-laws and practises to suit their particular circumstances. Like the one that periodically parks a committee member’s car, with wheel clamp attached, under the sign that says illegally parked cars will be clamped.
Or the one that puts up a sign warning drivers that illegally parked cars have been vandalised and the oweners corp takes not resposibility etc etc.
Neither of these signs is legal but who’s going to call the cops (or Fair Trading or whoever). When you consider how hard it is to get owners corps to follow the law, how hard will it be to compel them to limit themselves to the ‘black letter’ of strata laws.
Yes, you’re right, the law is deeply flawed, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up. All it takes is a little imagination and a desire to actually do something.
