What to consider before renovating

---

When renovating, ensure that you're aware of what you can and can't do and when you need approval, by reviewing s109 - 111 Strata Schemes Management Act and our by-laws. 

Particularly relevant by-law sections:

1.1.2 - Walls, ceilings, floors

1.1.3 - Locks

1.5 - Damage to common property 

2.1 - Floor coverings

2.4 - Air conditioners

2.5 - Window shutters

6.2 - Renovations

The building dates to the 1960's; Doors, bathrooms, electrical boards and other items may contain asbestos. It is your responsibility to manage the handling of any asbestos with your builder.

A new by-law related to floor coverings will be considered at the upcoming AGM, see draft by-law and supporting docs below.

  Unless you're sure your renovation meets the definition of "cosmetic work" you must seek approval of the Owners Corporation. You must not commence that work until you receive written approval.
