We are renovating our internal laundry with new cupboards and storage. However, some pipes need to be moved along the wall to accommodate the relocation of the laundry sink.
Where are those pipes? Is it an internal wall or an external wall?
Our strata manager is telling us we need a special by-law to cover this in addition to a “scope of work” and plumbers diagram.
If it is an external wall you are now moving pipes which may be common property in your complex. Because of this the approval and subsequent need for a by-law is because of Section 108 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.
The by-law is to protect the owners corporation from potential cost in the future should there be an issue because of that relocation.
