Fitting a tempering value would be considered an improvement requiring a SR.
I guess we will have to agree to differ. Our EC, which is generally well-managed (give or take the odd despotic tendencies here and there) with a top notch strata manager, has been replacing lights in the garage with low energy tubes and fittings, while common areas like lift lobbies have had low-energy LED lights installed. That is both changing common property and improving it. As far as I know there has been no special resolution by-law passed, nor do I think one is required.
The upgrade of our TV reception backbone occurred without an SRB.
I apologise for attributing this to a Queensland quirk but I do think we need to ease back from nitpicking the letter of the law and look at how Owners Corps actually operate (and I include myself in that).
