Nonsense continues :-
1. Mediation at Fair Trading on 4/03/14 provided insights into the obvious mal administration of all parties noting that the delay of 12 months was primarily due to the OC not following due process and we also now needed a DA to Council for any screen enclosure . Shame it took 12 months and formal mediation to inform me of that piece of brilliance.
2. And if that wasn’t frustrating enough one day after mediation we were sent a breach notice asking us to remove our pot plants from the balcony and the stand alone umbrella we had offering some sun protection , both were in breach apparently of the architectural and landscape standards of the estate.
3. We have submitted a completed DA to the OC requesting their common seal allowing us to submit it and are awaiting their response after their next meeting.
Question – must we have OC sign off to submit a DA to Council ?
– If approved from Council do we still need to get approval from >= 75% of lot owners ?
– should we just forget due process and simply force mediation and NCAT under section 144 2(b) ?
