Our complex ( in NSW) has a main entrance to the underground garage on one road and another entrance via a gate from a road at the rear of the property. This is a “pedestrian only” entry. Every resident has had a key to the gate to allow entry to the property. The SC has decided recently to change the lock on the gate and require residents to give 48 hours notice to the building manager if they require access through the gate. The reasons for the change have not been explained in any detail. I have advised the SC that I believe they are leaving themselves exposed to significant risk, particularly in an emergency. I recommended that the gate remain locked from the outside and that the latch be set so residents can open it from inside the property when needed. This has always been the arrangement. The issue was discussed at a recent SC meeting and the decision was made to continue with the lock change proposal. I am hoping Forum contributors can point me in the direction of any precedent or authority which supports my view that the SC position is untenable.
