hmm, have you submitted a DA? if you are erecting a wall, it needs a DA, which means body corporate must consent to the plans & engineering drawings, additional floor loading. You need to pay body corporate’s costs & the cost of submitting the da.
Unless you broke the sheet or took the paint back to bare cement there’s a very remote chance of having released any fibres whatsoever. Any which were released would most likely have been bonded to the paint.
Both sites are subject to some noise – it becomes a bit of a trade-off as to which property will give the better growth over time. Over the last few years there has been substantial growth in the south esp around Tempe/Mascot etc so you'll need to consider whether there is more growth to be gained in the short term down south or better buying northside.
Will, as above, you’ll find that the industrial zoning will allow more manufacturing, noisy, recycling, wreckers, dirty, dusty uses compared to commercial zoning – quieter uses like storage, warehousing, wholesale, distribution Etc…….
Probably right, as neither yourself nor the agent actually has a relationship with the strata manager. So direct you queries back to the selling agent.
Thanks Beedie, just what I was looking for (NSW requirements are much simpler – OFT Smoke Alarms)
Ensure that you have them installed, they must be shown on the condition report & battery replaced at the commencement of the tenancy, the responsibility for the replacement of batteries and testing then goes to the tenant.
Wrong. If the tenant has whinged about something they could slip on, and you as the owner is made aware, and then the tenant does slip and hurt themselves and takes you to court over it, you can absolutely lose. I've definitely read precendent cases on very similar matters. One that springs to mind was outdoor tiles that were quite slippery.
Jac, it depends entirely on the circumstances…. if you have laid interior floor tiles (or glossy wall tiles) ie the wrong material for the application, of course you can be found to be liable for not having taken due care with the installation. Likewise, if you fail to maintain something (whether it be the carpet which has been worn through or repair of leaking downpipes causing a slippery surface if it isn't mopped up/cleaned which may be a reasonable expecation), then you may well be liable.
I would be asking why the administration find is in deficit & why a motion hasn’t been made to transfer funds between the accounts – funds cannot be in deficit as it is in breach of the strata act.
What is the 5 year budget for the sinking fund?
Are unit owners in arrears? What is the strata management doing about it?
safety issue? It is not a place of work! If it complies with the building standard applicable eg pool fencing or AS1288 glazing where safety is paramount, fine but otherwise make the PM do some work.
