    In my opinion this by-law is largely unnecessary. These issues are mostly already covered in SSMA 2015 and SSMR 2016:

    NSW SSMA 2015 Section 118: Window Safety Devices  

    NSW SSMA 2015 Schedule 3: Part 13 – Window Safety Devices Installation Deadline 

    SSMR 2016 Regulation 30: Window Safety Devices 

    SSMR 2010 Regulation 31: Notification by owners of Window Safety Devices

    An occupant cannot change the common property i.e. the common property window locks without authorisation from the OC.

    An occupant cannot damage common property. This rule is generally covered in the By-laws.
