Consequently prior (to 1988) developments such as your Strata Plan are exempt due to the amended legislation being non-retrospective provided no significant additions/alterations to the building have since been undertaken, where Council’s required consent to those would have acted as a “trigger” for the imposition of then current fire safety requirements to the whole Plan.Your Owners Corporation (O/C) could arrange for a fire safety inspection of its Plan to be undertaken against today’s standards, but that can open a “can of worms” that could cost a whole lot more than the contents of that currently adequate sinking fund; perhaps that’s why those A.G.M. Minutes record the O/C’s decision not to go down that path.
Thanks for that response. Our AGM is coming up, then a Committee meeting straight afterwards. There is a motion about the Annual Fire Safety Statement on the Committee meeting agenda. Don’t know why it could not have been a AGM motion.
Our residential only townhouse strata complex was built around 1982, so my initial understanding is our complex would be exempt from the requirement to provide this statement?
