Now that’s out of the road, I really DO appreciate what you and the other Owners (i.e. the Owners Corporation) are trying to do, but I’m afraid there’s no legal means by which those objectives can be achieved, and quite frankly giving Residents free-rein to plant whatever each personally chooses in common property gardens may prove problematic, particularly if those are at some stage found to be undesirable, noxious, or aesthetically unsuitable species.
So if the current state of play continues, then your Owners Corporation will be perpetuating a breach of the Act (by-laws) albeit desirable in its view, and be stuck with the costs of engaging a gardener to perform its maintenance obligations on sections of its garden space.
