This information seems to contradict the response I received from Jimmy which stated shower screens are not common property and we should put a motion forward at the next meeting to invoice the lot owner.
They might not be common property but that doesn’t mean they’re not covered by the OC’s strata building policy.
And if they are covered by the OC’s strata building policy (I think they will be, as a lot fixture) then it’s allowed for the lot owner to make an insurance claim. I don’t think the OC could even stop that.
Who pays any excess is another question. That seems to vary around Australia. Sometimes it’s written in the Act, sometimes it’s an OC/BC decision.
And if the insurance claim is refused, it’s then the lot owners cost.
