    Yes the bathroom is your problem and you are responsible for replacing it with the exception of any pipework in the common walls or floor.

    It’s really not as simple as that.  First of all, you have to see what the strata plan says.  Older strata schemes often had all bathroom fittings included as common property.  Secondly, the owners corporation is responsible for repairing or replacing anything that is damaged during the repair of common property.

    Check the original strata plan and work from there. Either way, the Owners Corp could be better off buying or contributing to a new bathroom than trying to repair the old one to a reasonable standard.

    Get your own quotes and present the Executive Committee with a reasonable proposal on the one hand or, on the other, the threat of a Section 62 order from NCAT to repair and replace common property entirely at their expense.
