Jimmy, from what I understand from your article here:
the nuisance rule will also apply to smoke from smoking.
Our strata has passed although not registered a ‘no smoking’ by law. As we want to be a ‘smoke free’ strata. One of our residents has said the new law takes away the need for registering the ‘no smoking’ by law.
I told them it didn’t. In my view under the new laws a person could still smoke and it would be up to someone else to complain and put on record that it was a nuisance to them. Whereas if we register the ‘no smoking’ by law there is no need for a person to complain or record that the smoking caused a nuisance to them.
Having regard for how ‘shy’ some residents who complain are to go on record I have requested that we proceed with the ‘no smoking’ by law registration.
