It would be good for us all to see Patrick’s “boiler plate.”  Patrick, would you please forward us a copy of this also.

Thank you

Hi All,
 I have been talking with Patrick about how the bylaws work with the new legislation. STM have a suite of new bylaws that work in well with the new legislation and under the new laws we are required to consider them as part of a review of the bylaws. 

As my proposed bylaw and Patrick's boiler plate are in the same spirit  it might be best if we just use Patricks bylaw it will give almost the same outcome.  

Matt.

This is what we need. Can't remember why it was voted down previously, but it was the wrong decision...

Hi All,
 Here is the bylaw I proposed back in 2016. May i suggest we put it on the agenda for this AGM.   This will eliminate the need for lot 32 to have their own bylaw in place and will give the EC the ability to approve minor renovations. Like those for lot 32. 

I have had it added to a few other buildings that I am involved with and it has always been positively received. Of cause i am open to any drafted changes or additions. It may need some modifications for the new strata law as it was last seen by solicitors in 2016 But is an excellent framework.

Thanks Patrick,
 The bylaw I proposed also included things like provisions for charging electric cars. Putting a cage/box in your car space any many of the things that have been currently done by many owners without any approval whatsoever.  For example a parking lock has sprung up in a car space on level P4 over the last 3 weeks which has no approval and under the bylaws should be removed as it's in breach.  (Not that I want that to happen) But it's in example. There are many many more. 

Many apartments have floating floors. Some would have good floor sound proofing the 2mm angel step standard some would have none.  Many bathrooms have been renovated. ( I would love to do mine)  In theory anyone  that has hung a picture hook has broken the bylaw of affixing to common property. 

The building did the right thing some years back and upgraded the pet bylaw. Come on people lets support this by law and bring our building up to modern standards.

Hi Matt,


Yes, having the By law that was rejected at the last General Meeting empowers the Committee to approve Minor Renovations, which do not require a By Law and for such request to then be ratified at the next General Meeting.

This speeds up the Minor Renovations process and makes allows Owners to present their request and be approved for the work to proceed.

 

Craig, flooring renovations cannot be approved by the Committee under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 unless a previously resolved By Law has been resolved and lodged with LPI empowering the Committee for approval as explained above. Currently SP 67851 does not have such a By Law but I will include in the AGM Agenda.

I’m absolutely fine with the installation of the floorboards for lot 32 to go ahead.  The 2mm sound cover is excellent for this type of product in line with normal standards. 

 

We already have an apartment which had a new floor laid with concrete.  This really sets a foundation for other apartments to do the same……….whether concrete, carpet, tile or floorboards.  Let the works go ahead, I say.

Thank you.

Dear Committee,

 

Please see attached the application to install floorboards for Lot 32, which will have to be added to the AGM Agenda.

I am sending this for you to review and advise if you require any additional details. I believe that the attached is sufficient for the require work and includes the installers details and data sheet for the underlay to be installed with the flooring.

 

I will be sending an email before the end of this week with proposed dates and a proposed budget for the upcoming AGM.

 

Please advise if you feel the attached is sufficient to proceed to the AGM for consideration and approval by all Owners.

 

 

Kind regards,
