    The model By-Laws contained in Schedule 1 need to be formally adopted by Owners Corporations (O/C), and it follows that any of those By-Laws that an O/C doesn’t think it requires are not adopted, and that any additionally required are Specially Resolved at a General Meeting of the O/C and registered as ‘Special By-Laws’.

    So if like many others your O/C regards Model By-Law 13 as unadministrable then it either shouldn’t adopt it, or amend it to perhaps substitute the “Strata Manager” for the “Executive Committee” and then Register the amended version.

    Perhaps the fact that the Model By-Law 13 was omitted from the reworked list of By-Laws for residential plans in Sch 2 of the Strata Schemes Management Regulation (2010) provided a clue to to the difficulties with its administration.

    With regard to damage to Common Property caused during relocation activities, if nobody is supervising on the O/C’s behalf, how would it know who to hold to account?
