In the common area, is the owners corporation responsible for the sewer line wholly or partially? If partially, how do we clarify this?

When it comes to sewer pipes, it depends on where they are located and what they service.

Pursuant to Part 2 Division 1 Section 4 of the Owners Corporation Act 2006, the Owners Corporation is responsible for maintenance of common property. The plan of subdivision determines what is common property. When it comes to sewer pipes, it depends on where they are located and what they service.

Without further information, it is impossible to make a determination of whether the pipe is an owners corporation responsibility. It should be noted that a reputable registered plumber would be able to assist and advise.
