been through all this recently. most strata managers weren’t up to speed on this 6 months after the legislation began. i was led to understand that if a common property wall etc was involved any change had to be done under a class 2 license and I was also led to believe this included waterproofing however our strata managers wrote and said that any waterproofing had to be done by a tradesperson who was a master builder and not all master builders hold the class 2 licence. the general rule seemed to be that only if it was an internal reno say a new bathroom or kitchen a class 2 license wasn’t required but what if say a hole needs to be knocked into an outside kitchen wall for an exractor fan. THE WHOLE THING IS A MINEFIELD AND NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED. When I originally contacted FT in Jan this year they knew nothing about it.
