This is perfectly within the EC’s rights and fair enough but my concern is that I am aware of other renovations by other residents that would also have likely required bylaws and I can not see any record of them, I do not think one rule for one and one for another is fair.
Thanks and please let me know if any further info is required. Ta.
That’s right the same rule must apply to everyone and to find out what Special bylaws have been approved you just need to go to the Lands dept of NSW gov and obtain a copy of the current bylaws for your complex. Cost about $20 and their should be bylaws referencing all the alterations done to date. If the bylaw is not registered it’s not valid.
The strata has 2 years to register any bylaw that has been passed by the OC otherwise it lapses, so if you have copies of the agenda’s of all general meeting for the last 2 years you will have a complete record.
