    Thank you both proudsceptic and Jimmy T for your advice.

    Can I please get both your opinions on something

    I refer you to NSW Fair Trading’s new publication “Strata Living” Page 37 Under Renovations in “Top Tips”

    The owners corporation can delegate approval for minor renovations to the
    strata committee by passing a by-law to permit this.
    The owners corporation can also make a by-law to define specific types of work as being ‘cosmetic’ or ‘minor’ renovations. This is as long as it doesn’t conflict the categories of renovation as defined in the Act.
    For example, waterproofing would fall into the category of major renovations. The owners corporation could not decide that this is a minor renovation.

    Does that mean if the strata committee passed a by-law then approval of a minor renovation like installing timber floorboards would not have to wait to the AGM in 2017?

    And hence approvals for minor renovations no longer requires a Lot owner to get the approval of the owners corporation by general resolution

    Thereby giving approval powers of minor renovations to the strata committee and hence speeding up the approval process as a general resolution isn’t required??

    Thank You
