Private Property on Common Property

Hi,

Can the S/C vote to over-ride a by-law?

This is in relation to private property being placed upon common property. I am in NSW and this has been an on-going issue with one committee member who has stated to our Strata Manager that the Committee has previously given their approval to place the property (albeit temporarily & regularly – really when they want to) on common property.  No permission was given at all – as far as I am aware.

And if the answer is no, then does the particular committee member need to apply to have the by-law altered? If so – this would give carte-blanch to all and sundry to leave stuff all over the place – wouldn’t it?
