Bubbles – some advice recently provided by “tharra” in another post suggested that a Local Environment Plan (LEP) of The City of Sydney Council restricted the use of carspaces in residential buildings such as yours.
The following was posted as being a reflection of that LEP in the Development Approval for “tharra’s” Strata Plan:
“The on-site car parking spaces, exclusive of designated visitor car parking spaces, are not to be used by those other than an occupant of or person residing in the subject building and any tenant or registered proprietor of the development site or part thereof shall not enter into an agreement to lease, licence, or transfer ownership of such car parking spaces to those other than an occupant or resident of the subject building.”
It may be worth your while to check with The City of Sydney Council or alternatively provide this extract (above) to your Executive Committee and see what’s forthcoming so far as the possibly illegal use of a carspace by the offending vehicle is concerned.
On the broader issue of carpark ventilation, I had a similar problem and took some initial measurements with THIS hired gas detector to, in the case of our Plan and at a cost of $144, prove to a resident that there was no problem with CO emissions – where an 8 hour average reading of <70ppm is acceptable from a workplace perspective; but check with NSW Health regarding levels for a residence of your type.
