We have a similar situation. The electricity meters etc were not installed where intended by the plans but instead on the side wall of a neighbouring townhouse, but wholly inside our courtyard lot space.
For meter reading and any other purpose, someone has to traipse through our courtyard. One solution proposed but never actioned was for us to give up a metre-wide strip of courtyard alongside the neighbouring wall and in return receive the same area added to the courtyard from common property elsewhere.
Given the likely costs of surveyors, solicitors and changing boundaries on strata plans with the Land Titles Office, I expect simply moving the meters may well be less expensive?
Agree that nothing will change unless the other owners can be convinced to care!
