    In my view there is no ‘change of use’. The garage space is still being used as a garage space. A ‘change of use’ will only be triggered if the garage space is being turned into something other than a garage space e.g. a workshop etc.

    Nor is the garage space being used for commercial or industrial purposes.

    Your ownership of the garage space is relevant. If you were a tenant then different issues may arise.

    Some legal opinions on this issue are here: http://www.flatchat.com.au/forum/parking-peeves/restrictions-on-renting-car-spaces-in-residential-buildings/
