Re clear line of sight…when I’m going out i just point it and it is behind the dashboard and it works. But coming in i have to open the window and hold my arm out, or sometimes get out of the car. Even then it takes a lot of clicks.
The gate control system and its receiving antenna can be in a different location than the gate itself. You need to think about distance and direction to the antenna, NOT distance from the gate.
I would have thought the owner corp wd be responsible for a new one as it surely applies to common property? (Though don’t like my chances)
Owners Corp has NO control over how you or previous resident/s handle the remote control. E.g., Dropped a lot, Put through the wash, Button pushed too hard all the time, etc., etc.
So it’s common for the remote control for the gate to be deemed property of the individual Lot (like your front door key), but that isn’t necessarily always the case.
We can’t know the details of your individual circumstances- you need to ask a member of your building’s OC committee, or the Strata manager (sends you your levy notices etc).
