Anna R – I’ve always wondered why an Owners Corporation would need to put and pass a Special Resolution at a General Meeting of Owners in order to change / add to its own Common Property, but it does – refer the relevant section of the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act below:
65A Owners corporation may make or authorise changes to common property
(1) For the purpose of improving or enhancing the common property, an owners corporation or an owner of a lot may take any of the following action, but only if a special resolution has first been passed at a general meeting of the owners corporation that specifically authorises the taking of the particular action proposed:
(a) add to the common property
(b) alter the common property
(c) erect a structure on the common property
