Well my colleague has been to mediation with his EC about his dogs. No chance to plead his case. The decision still stands at no.
I thought mediation was the place where one side got to say their two cents worth then the other side had a say. Then they try to find a middle ground. What a waste of everyone’s time if there was no real discussion or debate. So now its off to the adjudicator. Another 5 weeks wait for that to happen.
In the meantime, after a couple of months since receiving the notice to comply, there has been no complaints made by residents in the complex about the presence of the dogs. Only from the EC.
Apparently this EC has not issued any notices to comply about anything before. Not even to those residents who regularly make use of the visitors car spot. Another example of an EC picking and choosing which by laws they enforce? Though and EC does not have an obligation to enforce any by laws in the state of NSW, it should be an all or nothing scenario. Issue them for every bylaw that applies to your complex, or shut your eyes and walk quickly in and out the front door. You shouldn’t be able to apply one by law here and one there, and let the rest go.
