The roof is common property, can the Strata Corp. approve such work without consulting and voting on it by the unit owners?
At the risk of being pedantic, if by the Strata Corp, you mean the Owners Corporation, then that IS all the owners, including you. If you mean the Executive Committee, then they have even less right to make blanket approvals than the Owners Corp at a General Meeting.
I take Billen Ben's point but I wonder if it's possible to apply a by-law that allows work to be done on the roof with certain provisions attached – size, acceptance of responsibility for maintenance etc etc PLUS the approval of the EC. For instance we have a by-law that allows storage boxes of a specific design to be placed in parking spaces , subject to the approval of the EC.
That said, the last thing you want is half a dozen air-con units chuntering away above your head when you're trying to sleep. A BB-inspired preemptive strike is well in order.
