    Our question is simply this… “Are we actually liable to fix a wall which is nothing more than a cosmetic repair that was originally repaired poorly by the developer?” and “Would repairing this wall open us up to other potential owners who don’t like how something looks and demand it is fixed?” Any advice and help would be hugely appreciated.

    The Owners Corp is responsible for repairs to common property and to any private property that was damaged when common property was repaired. So yes, the OC must make good the damage and, if you think it’s worth it, you can pursue the developer to recompense you. But this doesn’t open you up to any other claims based on aesthetics – unless they were caused when common property was being fixed.
