      The problem with the forum is that you can’t receive email that someone has replied to the topic so it just sits there unread by the poster or contributor.

      The respectful way of dealing with this issue is to move it if you as the administrator feels its in the wrong place. Deleting it disrespects the poster who may genuinely have a query.

      I was going to add some valuable information to this site in other sections for others in a similar situation as I find myself in from time to time, but what is the value if you treat posters like this?

        Thanks LP. The building is around 69/70 so it would have been registered pre-1974.

        I agree with your interpretation of single door.

        I gather a security door is then the flyscreen door with the patterned aluminium mesh and that door locks (door furniture I guess) are not part of the timber door that strata is responsible for.

        I noted in a previous post about a dotted line on the wall separating the main townhouse and its courtyard. I wonder if this refers to the wall dividing the townhouse from its courtyard:

        With regard to plans registered prior to 1 July 1974:

        • Any structures between separate parts of the same lot are part of the lot and are not common property.

          Yes the complainant was arguing the fairness test, which is subjective, but I didn’t think it would hold any sway. I’ve spoken to about 6 different people in different strata schemes and all agree that they also would not grant this to a unit owner. 

          There’s a sort of trust system with strata that if we all follow the logic of what is and isn’t in the law, or what you often find in the “what’s in and what’s out” fliers, or based on advice from strata management, that we all get along better. Sometimes we don’t get what we want and get out voted and we cop it sweet. This person decided to take it to NCAT instead.

          We don’t want to set a precedent where we go outside of this common view.

            We live in a small block of 6 units and want to install window locks via an ordinary tradesman, not one of these specialist companies. Our strata agent says we need some sort of certificate that says we have compliant window locks installed. I see no requirement for this so if the locks comply with the specs laid down by Fair Trading so why would we need a certificate of compliance?
