A quick update and opinion request.
The EC has palmed the issue off to the strata management. Strata management see this (as suggested) as an opportunity to tie up the loose ends and possibly have a by-law created that would cove all (future and past) enclosures.
I have recently had a look at our by-laws, and, other than one for pets and aircon, there are no others but the standard 1996 Shedule 1 By Laws. That said…after recently chatting to the Chairman to inquire on our application, he made mention that the windows we proposed where not in matching with the rest of the building. We are after vertical bifolds, most other windows are horizontal sliders.
- This is not correct as there are multiple types of windows in our building (although sliders are the majority)
- The balcony is not visible to other lots and only marginally visible to an adjacent building
Are the EC in this case entitled to personal opinion into how they want these windows to look taking the above into account? If not, is there anything other than the above i can use to create a defence?
