    Hi Tonto

    I'll leave the technical issues to you. I only add that there may be approvals required from Electricity Australia, Council, etc which you should look into.

    Turning to the strata law issues, I make the following comments, you should:

    1. have a motion listed on the agenda of the next general meeting to determine if the OC is likely to pass a bylaw granting permission for an addition to the common property (to avoid the expense of consultants, etc if you are not able to do the work);

    2. provide all relevant plans, drawings, documents, etc to the OC in order that the OC is aware of what is being done;

    3. pass special resolution at the meeting; and

    4. register bylaw before the works start.

    Please note that a special resolution is one where not more than one quarter of votes in value is cast against the motion from all the persons entitled to vote at the meeting. This is not the same as being passed by 75 per cent of the owners.

    We have specialist lawyers who can assist you in relation to the above, if necessary.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
