The whole idea of model bylaws is to ensure that each owner abides by them. Through a recent expereince with CTTT I realized making of special by laws is not mandatory and if the majority of the owners dont wont it and you have enough owners on your side “Bobs your uncle”. The general premise is that you do what you like and I will do what I like. Pets – No permission required, aircons – no bylaws reqd, fences, additions to common property – no bylaws reqd, parking in visitors – extra car park for owners. When someone complaints give him/her what they want and lace them with special previliges (or make them think that way). Factionism, racism, presonal favours, wars I have seen it all. There is always some one who wants something that does not belong to them and the words EXECUTIVE committee,Owners CORPORATION makes these office bearers feel really powerful. Make bylaws enforceable rather than go for this self-governing idealogy that simply does not work.

Absolutely nailed it. Little kingdom syndrome I call it. Autonomy has gone mad in my SP. There isn't management; just a power trip from the dominant clique. Twenty years of in fighting that will not end until all the owners are taken out of the management picture.
By-laws in my SP are enforced depending on who is breaking them; not an unusual story. CTTT does nothing when this sort of dysfunctional management occurs and lawlessness prevails. But if someone is on the wrong side of the fence with the self important narcissists who dominate the landscape within the strata plan then the by-laws are everything and woe be to any “wrong person” who breaks them.
You do not even have to break a by-law to get a notice to comply in my SP .. and if someone discovers a breach of by-law from a year and a half ago and it was the “wrong person” who breached the by-law then they can expect a notice to comply. Visitors to the SP even get sent notices to comply in my SP. It is just a clique on a power trip and it seems they are fully endorsed by CTTT who continue to turn a blind eye to much of what is going on.
Make all by-law enforceable, outlaw self management in large SPs, redefine what constitutes a large SPs if needed, get rid of CTTT and bring on the strata police; it is a start.
