Can obtain some guidance on when an owner has to notify the OC or EC regarding renovations and or alterations to their individual unit.
I would expect that if their works involve any common property they would definitely need to notify, but what about installation of a new kitchen or bathroom?
We have the standard By-laws of the SSM ACT which covers “Damage to common property”, nothing on gaining permission for or notifying of renovations and or alterations.
I note that Sec. 116 (2) “The owner of a lot must not alter the structure of the lot without giving to the owners corporation, not later than 14 days before commencement of the alteration, a written notice describing the proposed alteration.” Does this refer only refer to common property or any alteration within the lot and if so how far does it go? For example I would not expect this would apply to some simple shelving but what about new built-in wardrobes or new bathrooms and kitchens?
Are there any publications that provide assistance in this area?
