My two cents worth … and from experience …. after successfully getting a Material Change of Use development knocked back that adjoined my scheme in QLD due to all of our owners writing separate letters, sometimes the ‘thick file’ principle works.
It can be more effective if Council gets lots of individual letters of complaint rather than one letter, even though the one letter represents many individual owners. When the statistical ‘wonks’ get their hands on the letters it is often times the total numbers of letters that is often counted not the numbers of people represented in the letters.
If the Committee agrees by Resolution at a Committee Meeting, maybe the Committee may like to draw the Owners’ attention to these matters via the Committee Minutes and might like to include contact details for the relevant person on Council should the individual owners wish to follow up on this matter themselves. This approach should be deemed to be legal under the Act.
