Mikey – I can appreciate your position, but firstly there’s no contradiction, and secondly you need to read the entire sections of the Act not just the bits that suit your personally preferred outcome, which other Owners (who together with yourself make up the Owners Corporation) may not regard as being in their best interests.
With regard to the Special By-Law that’s causing you grief, I note that you said it was put in place after you purchased your Lot; where were you when the Meeting was held and the vote taken?
On positive note though, your post states that that Special By-Law applied only to your Lot. If that’s correct and depending upon the layout of your Plan’s carpark, you may have a opportunity to argue for that to be overturned on the ground that it applies only to you, only restricts only you etc etc.
As has often been said on this Forum though, and as I’ve personally experienced, the outcome of the CTTT’s processes are is almost akin to winning a prize on a a chocolate wheel; they’re almost entirely up to chance.
