Our apartment building has no provision for visitor parking or disability parking. Is this legal? Can we hold the developer to account?
Our apartment building of 58 apartments has no provision for visitor parking or disability parking. The building is only 2 years old.
I think this is not legal, and that the developer has just ignored the requirements. He has also kept a very disproportionate amount of parking for himself.
What action can be taken to remedy this and to hold the developer to account?
Obtain a copy of the development consent for your building which will stipulate the number of required visitor etc car spaces.
The first thing you will need to do is check the by-laws applicable to the scheme which may shed light on the situation – if you do not have them, your strata manager should have a copy (or they can be ordered online).
You should also obtain a copy of the development consent for your building which will stipulate the number of required visitor etc car spaces. You can obtain this from your local council noting that the developer must comply strictly with all the conditions of consent and Council may intervene.
