I want to install solar panels. Before I can install solar panels, I need to upgrade my fuse box. Isn't it the responsibility of the owners corporation to pay for a fuse box upgrade?
I am in a strata complex of 20 units and would like to install solar panels. Before I can install solar panels, I need to upgrade my fuse box. The fuse box is attached to my unit and does not affect any other property or unit.
I have contacted the owners corporation and they state that, because the problem is only affecting my unit, I must pay for the upgrade. Is this correct or is it the responsibility of the owners corporation to pay for the fuse box upgrade?
It would appear then that the fuse box is your private property and because your proposed works necessitate an upgrade to the existing features of your unit, you will need to upgrade the fuse box to facilitate your works.
