We recently had a Tribunal Hearing (NSW) where the Tribunal member stated that the Dividing Fences Act only relates to two owners of adjacent lands and not to two lot owners on a parcel of land.
The Tribunal member stated that this is covered under the Strata Law and he suggested getting advice from a lawyer that specialised in Strata Law as he is not able to comment at this point of time and adjourned the hearing for a future fixed date.
He did suggest that we install a fence on the inside of our courtyard fencing line in whatever material we like at our own cost. Even after stating our Strata By Law where the appearance of the external building must be in keeping with the rest of the building, the tribunal member stated that different materials can sometimes happen
I’m flabbergasted by his response.
So now we’ve decided to install a colorbond fence just inside our fencing line at our own cost.
I’ve decided that I have had enough of self managing this small scheme lot and I’m in the process of sourcing proposals from professional Strata Managers to take over.
I need my life back!
