The 1996 model by-laws had a clause
An owner or occupier of a lot must not transport any furniture or large object through or on common property within the building unless sufficient notice has first been given to the executive committee so as to enable the executive committee to arrange for its nominee to be present at the time when the owner or occupier does so.
Seems you just had to notify the committee, not actually get permission. This is not in the 2016 version.
