Silverslueth – you don’t need to become Superslueth in order to deal with your neighbouring Owner and their sprinklers. Believe it or not, one of the advantages of living in a strata community is that you have a representative body of your fellow Owners called an Executive Committee over here in the east, and from what I’ve quickly researched a “Council” in WA.
More than likely, your Strata will have engaged the services of a Management Company to assist your Council in its management of the Strata. So your next step should be to approach that Management Company, and specifically their representative who deals with your Strata, or if by some chance your Strata is self-managed by its Council, then you should approach its Secretary.
Explain the problem with the sprinklers and the attempts that you’ve made to resolve it, and ask for the intervention of your Strata Management representative or your Council. Your Strata will have standard By-Laws and may even have registered additional By-Laws covering watering; you won’t know ’till you ask. The over spray may even be affecting Common Property as well as that forming part of your residence, and that too would be of interest to your Council.
If intervention doesn’t resolve the problem, then your State Legislation provides for a process of independent mediation and Orders to comply as a last resort
So you don’t need to be Superslueth and take the fight directly to your neighbour, but rather just follow the well proven and documented procedures, remain at arms length, and enjoy your new home.
