Question: We’ve been told that due to council requirements, our two parking spaces are for visitors only. Council says they could be either residents or visitors parking. Could our BCC have decided to make it visitors parking only?
Our residents have been told that due to council requirements, our two parking spaces are for visitors only. The council informed me when our unit block was approved it was for off street parking, either residents or visitors. Can the Body Corporate Committee decide to make it visitors only?
Answer: The body corporate records should record all changes made to the by-law and strata plan.
It seems like you have two contradictory pieces of information here. Firstly, that resident’s can’t use visitor’s spaces – which seems correct. Then, the spot was originally designated for residents or visitors – which seems unusual.
The body corporate records should record all changes made to the by-law and strata plan so if that was the case, you should be able to find any changes there.
Regardless, your by-laws will set out how visitor’s parking can be used. I would be surprised if it was for anything other than visitors only.
