To HarbourView and my northern oz mate ……one of the things I’ve learnt about Strata is that owners’ goodwill rarely transfers with the title to their property. So call it bureaucratic if you like, but in my experience when you’re dealing with Strata matters there’s the legally correct way or no way at all.
In that context, in NSW changes / alterations to Common Property by an owner or by the O/C itself must be resolved by a Special Resolution, and in the absence of a complementary Special By-Law (excluding exclusive use if preferred) owners cannot be required to maintain Common Property.
Unless HarbourView’s O/C specially resolves to undertake and maintain the proposed works (my option 1), then any expedient or less bureaucratic approach relies on goodwill and may suffer the possible risks.
