With respect to your question of whether an owners corporation can pass a motion that requires all owners to be responsible for replacement of their fly screens, according to recent research, an owners corporation can be held liable if a child falls through a flyscreen which has not been installed adequately and does not have the proper locking devices (see https://nsw.stratacommunity.org.au/resources/745).
Owners and the owners corporation ought to ensure that the flyscreens installed in the scheme meet the BCA requirements to ensure the safety of owners and occupiers of the lots. The replacement of flyscreens affect the safety of the building and the appearance of the property and therefore, ought to remain the responsibility of the owners corporation.
Kind regards
