That’s not true (see Whale’s posting below). If the circumstances demand it, the CTTT certainly can issue an order forcing owners to allow access to common property through a lot in order to effect repairs.
We all on this site have opinions do not trust anyone seek qualified advice if you do not want them walking through your lot.
Some of us have more informed opinions than others. You have absolutely no grounds for saying readers shouldn’t trust the opinions on this site. Some of our contributors are lawyers, strata managers and other professionals. I have been writing about strata for nine years so I have picked up the odd bit of info here and there too.
We would recommend seeking legal advice when appropriate, but hardly ever as a first resort.
Whale’s advice is spot on, Ongoingissue should negotiate the kind of access he’d prefer and if the EC get shirty, point out that it will probably cost them more to get an order at the CTTT than to hire a scissor lift (and even then there’s a very good chance that the CTTT will say that’s a reasonable demand).
