    Yes, it is over the top Whoopi. “In house” rules such as that one are not valid. 

    Go ahead and employ your own tradespeople to do work within your Lot. There is nothing in the Act that prevents you from doing so.

    Let the SC seek permission from the OC to take you to NCAT if they believe that you are in the wrong! 

    It is unlikely that they would do so, and very unlikely that they would succeed in any action against an owner, such as yourself, who employed their own tradies to do maintenance and repairs of their own fixtures and fittings within their own Lot. 

    Another SC gone ‘rogue’. Sigh.
