    Unit1 – Yes, I agree completely. 

    We have a situation where a lot owner thinks it ‘unfair and unreasonable’ not to be allowed to run his washing machine at 1.00am – despite the fact that it wakes residents of two adjacent lots. He argues there are no by-laws in place that prevent his using his washing machine at a time that suits him. And he reasons that our by-law 1 (noise) is not applicable because it does not reference noise from washing machines.

    So guess where we are next week? We are trusting NCAT will be ‘fair and reasonable’. 

    So, yes – unfairness is subjective and it is important for committees to take a stand if there are proper grounds and if the opponents point of view has been properly considered.
