Will it be sufficient to send an email to all Owners alerting them to be aware of the current Model by-laws and any Bylaws specific to our Strata Plan?
The Act is very non-specific as to what a review is but I would think your suggestion is the absolute minimum.
The ideal situation (in my book) would be to have a special information meeting of all interested owners to discuss the current by-laws and compare them with the model by-laws, with a view to holding a general meeting, if required, to update any by-laws that needed updating.
At the very least, I would be sending out a copies of:
- Your previous by-laws (those that were in place until December 1 last year)
- Your new model by-laws (which changed by default as your building is pre-1996)
- The model by-laws for newer schemes.
I would point out those that have changed by default and asking if any of your by-laws should be brought up to date with modern thinking as reflected in the new model by-laws for new schemes (pets and smoking being two of the issues).
Generally speaking, I think it helps if we all regard this as an opportunity rather than an imposition.
