It makes a huge difference if the spaces are common property or part of the unit on the unit plan. If common property you might have a special privilege for exclusive use of that space and it might have been granted in exchange for the unit owner taking on maintenance eg. cleaning. I am especially conscious of this because in the ACT it takes an unopposed resolution to grant a special privilege over common property. We had such an arrangement for parking spaces. It was not done properly years ago. We have legal advice that it needs urgent fixing. We took further advice on how to fix it, explained to owners etc. Still a few opposed because they did not accept it was not done right in the first place. This has cost us serious money already, mostly due to the need to deal legally with a few intransigent owners. Tomorrow is the big day of the hearing.
The best thing though is you have a power point metered back to your unit in each space. Great! You are set up for electric cars. I can only charge mine because a neighbour let me run a subsidiary meter in his meter box so I can charge from his unit and pay for the extra on his meter.
When I am not being a ‘strataguru’ I am a being consulted on DIY conversion of cars to electric drive. My EV has been on the road for over 3 years now. Going great.
