Must I allow access to my storage room for my neighbour's gas pipe installation?

By admin,

The neighbouring lot had a gas leak within their property, affecting only their facilities. The contractor suggested installing a new overriding gas line pipe on my side of the common or party wall between our two lots, inside my storage room.

The owners corporation would like access to my storage room to install the pipe and reconnect the gas service to the apartment. The lot owner will pay the costs.

Who's responsible for treating mould caused by bad weather in strata units?

By admin,

Due to the ongoing rain in Queensland, some of the units in the complex have developed moulds in their units in various rooms.

Two of the unit owners believe this is a body corporate issue and that it needs to be fixed by the body corporate?

There are no pipe leakage in any common areas, just a lack of sunlight due to the amount of rain and the ground being so soaked.

How are units valued when selling a strata scheme to a developer if one owner holds 93% of unit entitlement?

By admin,

I own 93% of the unit entitlement in a small Queensland block. Major work is required to repair the building, and the cost is out of the question.

If we close down the body corporate and sell the land to a developer, how is each unit valued? Will it be by unit entitlement, or must we have all the units valued separately and the land valued as a redevelopment site?

This will only relate to the minor stakeholder who currently has seven per cent of the units of entitlement.

Rising Inflation Issues for Australian Strata Schemes

By admin,

Given the recent spike in inflation (CPI) at a national level, combined with the immense surge in the price of building related materials and labour, should committees be ensuring that their 10 year plans reflect these increases?

How often should a committee focus on getting their 10 year maintenance plans revised?
