Sorry for not following the thread I started. What is interesting is that through some hairy fairy arrangement an Owner is doing the maintenance of the common property. And would it surprise anyone that the best maintained part of the common property is the area adjoining this owner! (I cannot prove it but I am sure some other owners are making money by supporting him. Anyway that is besides the point.)
I see several unit blocks around me – all of them are regularly serviced (fortnight, month at most). Over here I have seen creepers grow upto 40 feet. So can the owners corp say we only care about the front and save money by not looking after the back?
About this owner saving money is also questionable as I got a professional strata cleaning agent who has quoted for maintaining the whole area for LESS than what this owner is charging!!!
About making this area exclusive – out of question I live on the first floor!
About improving this area myself – It will take me at least $2000 to have the weeds removed, hedges properly cut, leaves and dead bushes removed.
Is there a tangible argument here that the rear of the building should be as well maintained as the front?
