A question that goes back to March this year has been revived, obviously because it hasn’t been resolved.
Basically it involves an owner of a commercial property in a strata scheme, who allows their employees to park in visitor parking.
And by “allows” we mean they have provided them with electronic pass keys so that they can come and go as they please.
As we discuss on this week’s podcast, some residents have objected to this, saying the employees aren’t visitors and are taking up valuable visitor parking spots.
The owners says they aren’t residents, therefore they must be visitors. The strata managers say they can’t issue Notices To Comply because they aren’t residents so don’t come under strata laws, by-laws or regulations.
The commercial owner has convinced the committee (of which they are a member) to drop the issue.
But we think the committee could and should make an effort to give the visitor parking spots back to bona fide visitors, and we explain how and why HERE.

- Has anyone had their committee replaced by a compulsory strata manager and if so was it as bad as everyone makes out? That’s HERE.
