Hi Flatchat,
The NSW strata plan where I live have adopted the model by laws.
The particular by law below is currently on the next general meeting agenda.
8 Children playing on common property
An owner or occupier of a lot must not permit any child for whom the owner or occupier is responsible, unless accompanied by an adult exercising effective control, to be or remain on common property that is a laundry, car parking area or other area of possible danger or hazard to children.
The OC wish to change the by law so as to stop children playing on the driveway as they believe that should an accident occur, e.g. child being hit by a car, the OC would be liable for any & all medical costs & would bankrupt the OC members/owners.
Is this true? Can an OC be liable for medical costs etc? Or would the building insurance cover it?
I am the only owner in the block with young children who ride bikes & scooters on the driveway with my supervision on a regular basis, no written or verbal complaints have been made to me thus far.
Could this be viewed as discriminatory or fraud against the minority?
Thanks
