    Must admit I don’t see a problem with the bylaw as it transfers responsibility to the lot owner and gives him permission to make alterations within his lot without the hassle of getting a SR approved for renovating a kitchen, bathroom, etc.

    In the case of a leaking pipe it would be strata insurance that would cover the repair and the bylaw would make no change to that.

    Why should strata be involved when you want to retile your kitchen or bathroom, or lay new floor times (so long as it doesn’t affect other residents).

    This is how the rules apply in QLD (except the utility service has to actually enter the property before it becomes the lot owners responsibility) and I think those in NSW are far too restrictive on what a lot owner can do.
