    Can Committee members conduct Major Capital works without approval for the OC?

    IS a special resolution required ie 75% votes for?

    The works would change the appearance of the complex as viewed from the outside.

    Is there legislation that describes this?

    Is there an amount or costs limit?

    any capital works (major or minor), which alter the external appearance of the common property, require a special resolution.  75% of the vote of the owners at a general meeting.

    legislation is Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.

    As far as I know, there is no costs limit.

    NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) could make orders to stop works.  You can find more information on the NSW Fair Trading web site.
