At last the 5th Apartment in our 14 Lot Strata Scheme has been sold ( with, we have been told, a requirement in the contract that the developer holds the proxy).
As has been explained elsewhere, the proxy demanded as part of the contract is invalid under section 27 of the Act. Your problem is getting someone to get it through the developer’s skull that he can’t ignore the law.
We bought into this Strata Scheme because we were told by the developer that it was for older residents or those residents who have disabilities.
Is there a difference in the development requirements for long term residential Strata units and short term.?
You need to check the development consent and under what terms it was authorised. It sounds to me as if your developer doesn’t have the appropriate consents for this and you can pass by-laws insisting that the council zoning be observed.
But first you need to get your strata manager on board.
