I don’t know if Co-op differs from strata but generally: If the land is common property permission for exclusive use can only be granted according to the legislation (generally a special or unopposed resolution of a general meeting). The special privilege can only be revoked by the correct form of resolution also (generally a special resolution). It could then be granted to someone else. Certainly in the ACT it is not possible to sell the special privilege to someone else and thereby force the owners corporation as a whole to agree to the change of treatment of common property. That was part of a mistake our OC made 30 years ago (before my time ) and blew up in our faces about 2 years ago.
