    When you say the neighbour is not on the strata, what exactly do you mean?  Is this neighbour not on the committee, or is this neighbour in a neighbouring property and not in your strata complex?

    I believe that the airspace above your courtyard is your responsibility up to something like 3 or 4 metres.  The space above this is the responsibility of the OC.  

    Your OC should be concerned.  A large branch falling onto a roof (common property) and perhaps damaging the structure (common property) would not be a good thing.  Insurance may cover but then premiums go up.  Did you take this matter to the council in writing?  Pointing out possible damage to person/property/possessions?  We did this and managed to get permission from our council to remove a 30m native tree.  

    Keep all correspondence in writing to all parties.  Should worse come to worse, you have proof you tried to draw attention and find resolution to this matter from all parties concerned.
