Answer: You must give consent.
Yes, you must give consent to enable the owners corporation to carry out its repair and maintenance functions under the strata legislation. If you do not, the owners corporation may obtain orders from the Tribunal to compel you to provide access and incur a penalty if you obstruct or hinder their works.
