Q&A’s
- During a roof replacement, can owners choose not to reinstall their common property skylight? Is the body corporate liable to replace them later if a future owner complains?
- Can an owner refuse to pay their owners corporation fees, charges or contributions because of building defects, poor management, or a dispute with their neighbours?
- What specific steps can a committee legally take to initiate action quickly when faced with an urgent issue, and what are the potential risks of using these expedited procedures instead of the standard process?
- When addressing balcony waterproofing issues in a six-unit complex, what is the difference in calculating the QBCC Home Warranty Insurance premium based on ‘Notional Pricing’ per unit versus the total project cost?
