Strata law requires that any major renovation be approved as a special resolution (ie, majority for, less than a quarter against) at a general meeting, any minor renovation be approved as a normal resolution at a general meeting (ie, a majority for, and some buildings have delegated this to the strata committee), and any cosmetic renovation does not require approval.
I assume the strata law being referred to is in NSW. I’m in the ACT and our Unit Titles Management Act does not distinguish between major, minor and cosmetic. The default owner’s corporation rules require a special resolution for alterations and modifications, which by implication covers all alterations and modifications. How is the split between major, minor and cosmetic defined? This seems to be a useful approach, if it can be defined clearly.
