This ruling has hit our strata severely. The limit of $5,000 is far too low to be reasonable and there are simply not enough engineers to go round. Our waterproofing problem is still there unfixed which is frustrating the owners of the affected lots and then they feel annoyed with what they see as a disinterested committee and strata manager.
I would understand if we were looking at an amount of over $100,000.

In our OC, a committee member has sold, settlement has not yet taken place. the levies fell due recently and have not been paid. Would I be right that neither owner is financial and unable to partake in strata matters?
Having been built in 1983, Ordnance 70 would have been applicable at that time – 860mm. We have a similar problem and construction, with a garden planter (with NO protection) belonging to the lot on the other side of one of these balustrades. there is a 2 storey drop. The OC has agreed by special resolution to instal balustrades to comply with the current regulations, but one disgruntled owner has persuaded the compliance department of our local council to overrule the DA planning department’s advice that no DA was required as “Balustrades for safety purposes are exempt development.” Currently trying to avoid the costs and additional time delay of submitting a DA.
