When one owner does something silly, in a temporary or more permanent by-law or legislation breaching fashion, uninformed owners can think it is a committee fight only but that is not completely true. Sometimes the committee haven’t the fight in them, or go along with what to them is not an issue. Owners can still take up the matter personally with the right authority and if you think it will have long lasting, detrimental consequences that you won’t learn to live with, it might just be worth going it alone. Certainly, that’s the case in Queensland.
