With committee permission, is it possible to provide a professional beekeeper with a space for a beehive? The area is in a fenced corner of an unused lawn.
With committee permission, is it possible to provide a professional beekeeper with a space for a beehive? The area is in a fenced corner of a quarter-acre unused lawned area, far from foot traffic and out of sight, which would be maintained by the beekeeper and subject to a negotiated agreement between him and our strata. Are there any clauses in the legislation that would deny this placement?
If the Committee are happy to approve the use of the land for beekeeping, there should not be any issues if the land is allocated to a unit owner who is using the area.
If the Committee have been elected on behalf of the Corporation and are happy to approve the use of the land for beekeeping, there should not be any issues if the land is allocated to a unit owner who is using the area. However, in this instance, I am a little unsure if the area is going to be used by an owner or someone else and it appears it may actually be common property and not a yard subsidiary.
If the area is in fact common property, then your Committee do not have the power to authorise the exclusive use of common property and a unanimous resolution needs to be passed. The other question I would be asking is, are there any requirements under the council bylaws relating to beekeeping. I would be suggesting the council also be contacted before passing the approval.
