Just going through the same reno – we also decided to update the colour scheme.
Our strata manager advised that any change to the colour scheme did constitute a change in the appearance of the building and therefore required a general meeting of owners to be called and the motion could only be approved providing not more than 25% voted against the change.
We were successful in pitching the changed colour scheme to all the other owners. I think it helped that we only had two options on the table 1 – stick with what we’ve got or 2 – take the scheme proposed by our painter. We were careful to avoid having owners suggesting their own schemes according to their own personal tastes. Before the meeting we circulated reference photos of other buildings using similar schemes completed by our painter. He also put sample colours on the relevant areas of the building. The painter attended the general meeting to answer any questions and it was agreed at the meeting to go a bit lighter on the window colour than originally proposed.In true A-Team style – I love it when a plan comes together.
