It’s not up to you to prove that it is it’s up to them to prove it’s not.
A simple motion that the owners corporation agrees to abide by local council zoning, specifically in relation to short-term letting as defined by the Residential Tenancies Act and interpreted in recent decisions of the Land and Environment Court, is sound, legal and all-encompassing.
If they try to knock it out as incompetent, tell them that you will use that entirley bogus decision as the basis for a motion at NCAT to have the entire Owners Corp replaced by the statutory appointment of a strata manager. That strata manager need not consult the EC (which will be stripped of its powers) and will probably play by the book – meaning any other little lurks and perks will be a thing of the past.
It’s their call – obey the law or face very serious consequences to their daily lives.
By the way, the more complicated and legalistic you make the motion, the easier it will be for them to pick holes in it. Keep it simple!
