The point is that the existing window locks would be of no use and non-compliant with Sect 64A as:
AJM said…… I have my windows fully open in Summer and want to continue to do so.
As for the penalty. Prior to its reform process stalling, the NSW Government’s intention was to include by Regulation the same penalty by application against recalcitrant Owners that Sect 64A will apply to non-complying Owners Corporations (O/C) post 2018.
It’s that provision that I was referring to, as how else could an O/C avoid the penalty that will be applicable against it in circumstances where, in circumstances beyond its control, an individual Owner is preventing its compliance with Sect 64A by being unreasonably obstructionist?
I do understand the inequities involving the application of Sect 64A to a two-storey strata townhouse and not to a stand-alone house of that same configuration, but as of 2018 that will be the law and AJM’s responsibility is to work with her O/C (i.e. all Owners) to ensure that her Plan complies with that law, and not to make its role more difficult.
Perhaps we should give AJM the opportunity for a final word, and then rule a line under this topic (I will anyway)!
