This article discusses strata street signage resolution requirements when replacing common property street numbers.
Question: We have an old numbering system on the common property fence of our strata scheme. Can an ordinary resolution be used to approve the replacement of the street number or can the owners corporation pay for and maintain the signage with an ordinary resolution?
Answer: Is it an improvement or enhancement to the common property?
The test for whether this is a special or ordinary resolution is whether the works relate to the owners corporation’s repair and maintenance function –v- an improvement or enhancement to the common property.
If the “signage” is being replaced because it has fallen into disrepair, then an ordinary resolution will suffice. However, if the signage is in good working order but the owners corporation wishes to improve or modernise its appearance, then that requires a special resolution.
