If the body corporate wanted to tint the existing clear glass panels on the balustrades of certain units due to lot appearance, are they obliged to offer the same deal to all owners with clear glass balconies?
Our body corporate wants to tint the clear glass panels on the balustrades of certain units both for lot owner privacy and for the appearance of the lot. If they are prepared to apply a frosted film to the glass on some balconies, is the body corporate obliged to offer the same deal to all owners with clear glass balconies even if some units are not in public view?
In our opinion, the Body Corporate is not obliged to install frosted film to the glass of all balconies, despite it resolving to apply the film to selected units.
In our opinion, the Body Corporate is not obliged to install frosted film to the glass of all balconies, despite it resolving to apply the film to selected units.
An owner may put forward a motion to be considered by the Body Corporate which proposes that all clear glass balconies to have frosted film installed to reduce exposure to public view. If the Body Corporate passes this motion, the Committee is obligated to implement the Body Corporate’s decision and arrange to have the frosted film installed.
