    If you want more certainty and clarity as to what is, or isn’t, the responsibility of the OC or the Owner then perhaps you should write a Motion for the next General Meeting, and have the OC adopt the Common Property Memorandum. Your Motion could state: 

    That the Owner’s Corporation adopts the Office of Fair Trading Common Property Memorandum.

    You would need to include a copy of the Common Property Memorandum in your Explanatory Material when you submit your Motion. The Memorandum is linked below.

    Fortunately the new legislation (SSMA 2015) makes it clearer as to the obligations on the Owner and the OC with regards to renovation approvals.
