Our backyard gets badly flooded whenever it rains. The water comes from a neighbouring property, not from within our complex. We need drainage along the fence line and maybe a pit somewhere else in the yard. Is this my cost or would the owners corporation be responsible?
The responsibility on installing additional drainage in your backyard will depend on who is responsible for the ‘air space.
The responsibility on installing additional drainage in your backyard will depend on who is responsible for the ‘air space’, be it the owner or the Owners Corporation . This will depend upon what is specified on the registered strata plan for your particular scheme.
Because a strata plan is a 2 dimensional diagram trying to define 3 dimensional details, strata plans are often written with notations on the plan. Below are examples of common notations that describe the area of the lot and the items contained within the lot.
Each plan will be different and needs to be read carefully so that you can understand how your ‘lot space’ is defined vs ‘common property space’.
