Good news, there is nothing in the minutes of the last BMC meeting so anything we discussed was off the record.
The conversation took place, raised by me, that P&S were parking illegally in the car park. Andrew Veron said they were entitled to one spot and that he was willing to give them his spot. In my earlier communications today I was confused with car wash and commercial spot. I assumed the car wash was the commercial spot.
The wash-up ( pardon the pun ) is they have one spot to use, which based on what you are saying, is the commercial spot donated to them by Andrew Veron. He agreed not to use the spot for his use, in fact, I recall now that he stated he "never parked there anyway".
So they have one spot. We can kick them out of the wash bay ( I assumed wash bay was the commercial spot on previous emails )
I hope I have “explained myself”.

>> They were granted approval by the commercial side ( Andrew Veron ) to park 1 car in the wash bay as that is owned by the Commercial side. This was only discussed at the last BMC meeting in April. I only agreed to it when Andrew advised the Commercial side owned the space, so technically I had no choice but to approve as the commercial side has every right to determine who parks in their spot. So from my point of view, they get 1 swipe.

>> But we definitely did not approve them to have more than one car and certainly not to use the visitors spots which is what they are now doing. 1 swipe.
>>
>> Having said that, Andrew Veron was in agreement that if they abuse the privilege by parking in other spots they are not entitled to, he would deal with it accordingly. 0 swipes.
>>
>> My suggestion is Maxine write the note to them warning them not to park again in any visitors spots. Warn them that if they do they will be barred from parking in the car park completely. And advise them we are cancelling the second swipe.
>>
>> In the meantime I will email Andrew and let him know they are abusing the privilege so he is forewarned that we may need to cancel the swipe altogether.
>>
>> I am not sure who approved a second swipe though. They have 1 spot they can use. they should have 1 swipe only. If they want another spot for their business, let them rent it and pay for it.

Im not sure we have any rights to turn of anything. By all means I think we should give it a go. But when it comes down to it. They have a parking space on the commercial strata plan. We cant stop them getting access to it. The fact that they are parking on our strata plan using the access via their card is at most just an aid to them trespassing.

So I cannot see why a business like theirs can park willy-nilly and expect not to pay for it. Time for them to take responsibility for their actions and stop making everyone else pay for them.

Is that still the case? I think we also had an issue with the signage at one point. Cheapens the whole look of the building.

So much for their sincere promise of not abusing the additional swipe card to access the parking area. Today they just parked their van in a visitors bay.

Failing their compliance (which I doubt they will do) I am quite happy (if authorised by the EC) to take the matter immediately to the Strata Titles Tribunal to obtain penalties and costs.
