In my opinion the position taken by the Executive Committee (E/C) and the Strata Manager is correct, and I’m sure you’ll find that Council would adopt an identical position, in that it may review your plans and provide guidance / advice, but would not grant consent to anyone other than the property Owner or their authorised Agent.
Perhaps you should contact your Solicitor / Conveyancer to ensure that they send the S118 Notification immediately after settlement, and again with the provision of guidance / advice in mind, additionally contact the Strata Manager to ascertain if consent to renovations of the type that you’re proposing is within the purview of the E/C, or whether those may need to be considered by the Owners Corporation at a (extraordinary) General Meeting.
