    I do have a problem with them using a garage for storage on a long term basis.  That creates all sorts of questions about the use of the areas, insurance and liability should anything go wrong. 

    Our strata had an the issue of owners parking in front of their own garage but they weren’t using their garage for storage. Our Strata decided that as long as there was no nuisance created to others we didn’t have a problem with it. 

    Can I ask what is the ‘nuisance’ with them parking in front of their own garages?

    If by parking in front of their own garages they create a problem for others I can see the nuisance. By nuisance I mean others accessing or using areas not just others complaining that ‘we can’t do that so why should they?’

    If however no one else could use that space and it doesn’t inconvenience anyone, what is the harm?

    Strictly speaking owners parking in front of their own garage in breach of by laws but surely the law needs to be tempered with a bit of practicality.
