I am in Victoria.
I am interested in this as there has been a locked gate to my Lot since at least the 1960s and certainly when I bought the place in 1980.
The locked gate is on common land.
There is only my lot past that gate ,
The walkway from the gate leads to the only entrance of my Lot.
Past my gate and the walkway leads to the balustrade/railing and a fall of 3 floors.
Visitors ring the bell on the gate to get admission to the area/my door.
Is it unreasonable to be asked to leave the gate unlocked because it is on a common walkway? Is this going to have to be a dispute at VCAT?
