I live in Qld and have just had my renovation approved by the Body Corp committee as per the by-law instructions which also included submitting a structural engineer’s report. I also had to sign an indemnity form against damage to the building and the common property as a result of the renovation.
I would suggest that you request that the committee draw up an indemnity form that you could sign as an extra precaution. That should satisfy the Owner’s Corp. If that is refused then you could claim that the OC are being unreasonable and take this matter further through NCAT.
Unless you are changing your front door then I don’t see how an internal renovation should impact on the common property fire regulations for the building? Both are not related in my opinion… but I could be wrong.
