I own 3 of the 5 units in a strata titled scheme. Can I paint the exterior of my units, or do I need the permission of the other two lot owners? As I have the majority vote, I thought I could proceed without requesting permission.

The entire complex should be painted as a whole as all units form part of common property. Motions for ordinary resolutions still need to be submitted.

Despite you owning the majority of units, the entire complex should be painted as a whole as all units form part of common property. Motions for ordinary resolutions still need to be submitted at a meeting for your corporation. Also, as the cost of painting units is a corporation responsibility, so it is certainly necessary for other owners to be aware of the potential cost and even request that their units be included in the works.
