If you were to get an exclusive use by-law passed down the track could that be rescinded by a 75% majority at another AGM resulting in the loss of exclusive use of common property?
Special resolution by-laws of this kind can only be rescinded or changed with the written permission of the lot owner who benefits from it.
Wouldn’t a more permanent & more costly solution be once the 75% majority have agreed to the exclusive use of common property & the council are happy. i.e. all the ducks are lined up… to have the lot + common property extension surveyed, the unit entitlement increased with an corresponding increase in levies & the registered strata plan amended as per the survey? Or is this an impossible avenue?
By “costly” do you mean cost-efficient (which is the opposite)? In any case, that would be much more expensive and time consuming. The property rights by-law is a tried and tested routs for this kind of thing.
