The owners corporation will not reimburse my money I claimed on the strata insurance.

The insurance paid the money to the owners corporation to be reimbursed to me when work was completed. Months later, I still haven’t received the money. Can the owners corporation withhold my money?

I made an insurance claim on the strata insurance. The claim was approved. The owners corporation instructed the insurance company to deposit the money in the strata account for accounting purposes. The owners corporation instructed me to pay for the approved repairs and send receipts for reimbursement.

After three months, I’m still waiting on the reimbursement of my money. I’ve been told the owners corporation is chasing $12k in arrears.

Once the late levies have been paid, they can pay me. They have offered to credit the amount to future levies, but I need the money now.

Can the owners corporation legally withhold the insurance claimed money?

The strata cannot withhold your reimbursement.

In the first instance, you should demand immediate reimbursement and ask that a special levy be raised due to their shortfall in funds. If the funds were properly due to you, the strata cannot withhold your reimbursement.

Building repairs realising your investment Edwina Feilen, building consultancy division, Sedgwick Australia December 2023

Now more than ever, it is essential to understand the role and obligations of an owners corporation (OC) when a building requires any sort of repairs, maintenance or capital works. ‘By definition an OC manages the common property of a residential, commercial, retail, industrial or mixed-use property development.’ The role of an OC is to make important decisions about building repairs and the budgeting and/or financial investment associated with such projects.

In Australia, there are different regulatory requirements OC’s must abide by across states and territories to ensure the adequate maintenance of built assets. Not only does this involve the upkeep of a building, but also its longevity, performance, financial sustainability and, in most cases, its appreciation in value. It is important that owners recognise that such an approach requires investment from both a time and cost perspective.

Realising your investment should not be understated. The flow on effect will result in the OC spending more time and money to achieve the desired result. When it comes to building works of any nature, there are several core fundamentals that should be considered: • Define the objective and extent of works to be done.

What do you want to achieve?

• Do your research - engage reputable providers with

the correct qualifications, licensing and insurances.

• Ensure the extent of works and costs are balanced

with the benefits.

• Check the warranty/guarantee of the works being provided.

• Cost verification – to ensure costs are fair and reasonable.

Experts such as quantity surveyors can assist.

• Receive expert assistance to manage the works as a

third party; this will save time and money. Construction management is not a strata manager’s area of expertise.

Whilst the above may seem simple, strata building works can be complex with multiple stakeholders and personalities to manage. Coupled with environmental factors such as labour shortages, cost of materials and supply chain issues, realising your investment requires careful planning right from the start.

These challenges may be further compounded if an OC takes a significant period of time to progress building works. The introduction of new regulations may tighten compliance requirements and broaden scopes of works.

Inevitably costs will increase, and therefore, so will the size and cost of the overall project.

It is critical that OCs make timely decisions to progress

If the source of the leaks causing the damage to walls is arising from locations involving common property, then it is likely owners corporation’s responsibility.

If they won’t fix the building, are they responsible for resultant damage to walls and window coverings?

Our strata plan has had persistent water leaks for years.

The owners corporation rejected a consultant’s proposal for remediation of the building. Is the owners corporation responsible for repairing the resultant damage in lots to walls and window coverings?

Our strata plan has had significant water leaks for many years.

Last year, a consultant’s report and scope of work to remediate the entire building was rejected by the owners corporation at a general meeting.

Many owners continue to have water leaking into their units around the windows, through the ceiling, etc.

The water leaks have been going on for many years. There have been many quick fix-ups and patches, but nothing substantial has been done to stop the water from entering the building.

The owners corporation has failed to maintain the property in a good, safe state of repair. Our strata management company recently terminated their agreement because they felt our owners corporation was in breach of strata legislation.

Would the owners corporation be responsible for repairing damaged walls, window coverings, etc, which is a direct result of not attending to appropriate building maintenance, even if the owners have contents insurance?

8 www.lookupstrata.com.au

The owners corporation has the duty to maintain and repair common property. Section 106 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 in this regard relevantly provides: 1. An owners corporation for a strata scheme must properly maintain and keep in a state of good and serviceable repair the common property and any personal property vested in the owners corporation.

2. An owners corporation must renew or replace any fixtures or fittings comprised in the common property and any personal property vested in the owners corporation.

3. This section does not apply to a particular item of property if the owners corporation determines by special resolution that– a. i t is inappropriate to maintain, renew, replace or repair the property, and b. its decision will not affect the safety of any building, structure or common property in the strata scheme or detract from the appearance of any property in the strata scheme.

I imagine the report from the consultant would have identified those aspects that are common property. If the source of the leaks causing the damage to walls is arising from locations involving common property, it is likely a responsibility of the owners corporation.

From your email, the water leaks are a major issue for the building. As such, it does not appear to me that section 106(3) would apply in this instance.

Who pays to investigate the cause of cracks?

An owner has cracks in the internal walls of the lot. Is it the owners corporation’s responsibility to investigate the cause of the cracks?

Our strata plan consists of free-standing townhouses.

One lot has cracks in the bathroom along the internal walls and bathtub. The cracks do not appear on the external walls of the townhouse. The lot owners have requested an investigation of the doomer roof underneath the bathroom to determine whether the cracks are structural. Would the investigation be the cost of the owners corporation?

It would be prudent to have the owners corporation’s experts investigate the cause/source of the defect to determine who bears what responsibilities and liabilities.

10 www.lookupstrata.com.au

Though internal walls are generally within the cubic air space of a lot (and therefore lot responsibility) if a defect in the common property causes damage to lot property, the owners corporation is liable to rectify the common property defect and any consequential damage to lot property, e.g. internal walls, bathtub.

It would be prudent to have the owners corporation’s experts investigate the cause/ source of the defect to determine who bears what responsibilities and liabilities, e.g. common property defect or potential cracks caused by unlawful works by the subject or another lot or neighbouring development, etc.

The owners corporation’s expert will be able to opine on whether it is necessary to access/ open the dormer roof and/or if investigative or alternative access/inspection is advisable.

Enhancing your property’s insurability by improving bushfire risk rating

12 www.lookupstrata.com.au

Q

Our strata plan is in a bushfire prone area. Should we consider the appropriateness of our building materials?

Given that our strata plan is in a bushfire prone area, this prompts considerations about the BAL rating and the necessary repairs for the common property. It also raises questions about appropriate materials and who should oversee these matters. Should the control rest with the strata manager, the committee, individual lot owners, or perhaps a collaborative effort involving all three parties?

A

Failure to comply can expose owners corporations to liabilities associated with non-compliance.

Compliance with relevant building and fire codes is a paramount consideration for any strata building, as failure to comply can expose owners corporations to liabilities associated with non-compliance.

From an insurance perspective, insurers rate more favourably on buildings with 100% noncombustible materials. The most favourable ratings are for properties with brick or concrete external walls. Insurers also rate based on the property’s location, including proximity to bushland, and will consider fire safety and risk engineering factors.

owners corporation. This proactive step can potentially enhance the property’s insurability by improving its risk rating. Nonetheless, such a decision requires careful consideration and consultation, ideally with a qualified insurance broker.

Before embarking on any material upgrade project, seeking advice from an insurance adviser to understand the benefit to the owners corporation is highly advisable.

In cases where neither the insurer nor local authorities require a change in materials, the decision to upgrade building materials to reduce the property’s risk rating falls to the

Can my neighbours use my parking space while I’m away?

Do my strata committee members have a say about whether I allow my neighbours to use my parking space while I’m away?

The strata committee does not have a say in who you allow to park in your parking space while you are away.

The short answer is no. The strata committee does not have a say in who you allow to park in your parking space while you are away.

If the parking space is part of your lot, or a separate lot which you own, it is your property and you can allow your neighbour to use your parking space.

If your use of the parking space is granted by way of an exclusive use by-law, you have the exclusive use of the parking space and can permit your neighbours to use it whilst you are away. The strata committee does not have a say in this unless the by-law provides otherwise, however I would be surprised if the by-law would provide for this.

If the parking space is a common property parking space with no by-law, you may have been granted written consent to park in that space under the model by-law regarding parking. If this is the case, you have been permitted to park there and you cannot allow your neighbour to park in the space unless they have the written consent from the owners corporation, following a resolution of either the strata committee or owners corporation.

A roof with a view Hyde Park Plaza’s refurbished rooftop has elevated leisure and property value for residential strata owners. The secret? Eying the horizon of remediation.

Overlooking the eponymous park in Sydney’s CBD, this prominent high-rise building comprises a 186-lot strata scheme. Colin Campbell, chair of the strata community, was tasked with rejuvenating the rooftop for the benefit of lot owners.

“Dating back to the 1970s, recreational facilities were starting to get rundown,” recalls Colin.

“Our goal was to create a modern, desirable and usable space.”

Powerful partnering.

Seeking expertise, Colin appointed Webber Architects in a design capacity, and then the Remedial division of Paynter Dixon.

“We had the opportunity to develop the rooftop in other avenues than just fixing ongoing issues,” says Keiran Brooks, a director with the architectural firm.

“We provided concept designs on how to better utilise the area, such as repurposing spaces and re-arranging the layout.”

The resulting scope of works comprised a new spa, pergola, gymnasium, viewing platform, decking and refurbished pool.

WATCH VIDEO New cooling towers were installed to enhance the scope for adjusting energy usage per building requirements. American designers were also engaged to specify a stainless-steel spa, with the end-product representing a first in the Australian market.

Tim Kurniadi, Remedial Sector Lead for Paynter Dixon, says the investment has paid off.

”

The cost difference is negligible in the overall scheme of the works, but the uplift to the area has also increased the principal value of the property.”

"It was an opportunity to recoup the expense of remedial works which had to be done in the first place.”

Colin trusts the partnership.

“I personally worked with both Tim and Keiran, and they were amazing. I would go so far as to say they went from being business associates to friends.

By the end of this, we would ring each other and discuss issues, and they would be remedied straight away – because it’s never easy, but they always came up with the solution, and full credit to them.”

Is there insurance for lot owners to bridge the gap between the strata insurance value and the actual cost of rebuilding my apartment?

Is there any insurance available to lot owners to cover the gap between what our strata building has insured my apartment for and the actual cost of rebuilding or repairing it?

Is there any insurance available to lot owners to cover the gap between what our strata building has insured my apartment for and the actual cost of rebuilding or repairing it?

I recently completed renovations on my twobedroom apartment in Zetland. I’ve replaced the kitchen, main bathroom, ensuite and laundry. The cost of renovations was $230,000.

If the apartment was destroyed, would our strata insurance cover the cost of returning my apartment to its current luxury condition? Can I take out any insurance for this?

It is the responsibility of the owners corporation to insure the property for its complete replacement value, inclusive of any renovations, as stipulated by the Strata Management Act. Strata insurance cover is intended to return the property to the same condition as before the event. Separate gap insurance policies are neither offered nor necessary, as it is the responsibility of the owners corporation to insure the property for its complete replacement value, inclusive of any renovations, as stipulated by the Strata Management Act.

18 www.lookupstrata.com.au

Also, it is important to highlight that buildings can only be insured under the property section of the strata insurance policy. They cannot be considered under contents policies.

The majority of strata insurance policies include cover for lot owners fixtures and fittings. The standard coverage is $250,000 or $300,000 per lot, and some policies include a percentage limit based on the building sum insured. This benefit is designed to cover instances where lot owners replace existing or install additional fixtures and fittings in their lot/unit without the owners corporation being aware of the improvements. As a consequence, the cost of these improvements may not be included when arriving at the building replacement cost, thus increasing the possibility of underinsurance in the event of a major loss. The automatic cover provided by the insurer allows for extra rebuild costs in addition to the building sum insured if a lot owner has upgraded their property without the owners corporation knowing or factoring this into the building sum insured.

Strata insurance policies are specifically crafted to account for owners renovating their properties. If you are unsure about the extent of coverage, we recommend that either the committee or the individual owner seek specialised advice regarding their policy from their insurer or broker.

How can owners reverse a committee decision?

A resolution was passed to replace air conditioning units and limit the hours of use. Many owners are not happy. Can we do anything to reverse the decision?

At the EGM, three attendees passed a resolution to replace air conditioning units for a commercial building. The air conditioning units will only run 9 am – 5 pm on weekdays.

I own two commercial lots in the building. I run an after school care business, which mainly runs outside of business hours.

Many of the 25 lot owners are unhappy with the resolution and the ridiculous quoted price. In addition, my levy costs for this installation are disproportionately higher than all other lot owners.

I have tried discussing the matter with our strata management, but they say they are following the law. Can we do anything to reverse the decision?

20 www.lookupstrata.com.au

If a majority of owners do not agree with the decision, those owners whose unit entitlement are at least one quarter should make a qualified request for the owner corporation to convene another general meeting.

If the hours of operation of the air conditioning units are being changed, it arguably requires a special resolution under section 108 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.

If a majority of owners does not agree with the costs to replace the air conditioning units, or their hours of operation, those owners whose unit entitlement are at least one quarter should make a qualified request for the owner corporation to convene another general meeting. They should request motions on the agenda to overturn the previous decision.

If the motions were resolved by ordinary resolution, an ordinary resolution is required to reverse the decision. Similarly, if the motions were specially resolved, they will require a special resolution to overturn.

Any levies raised for the common property air conditioning units must be raised in accordance with the schedule of unit entitlement.

Empowering EVs How NCC 2022 and IPD Spark a Change in Charging

Australia has witnessed a rapid surge in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) since 2011, as illustrated in Figure 1. The embrace of EV technology has been swift and substantial, reflecting a growing trend towards sustainable transportation solutions across the country.

This article will explore the profound impact of the National Construction Code 2022 update on EV chargers and how IPD can help accelerate the electrification of transportation.

The National Construction Code is a document that sets the minimum requirements for building developments in Australia. Updated every three years, the NCC addresses numerous components of infrastructure and construction, incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability. The 2022 edition indicates a substantial step forward in supporting sustainability, and it has a direct effect on the installation of EV chargers.

At IPD, we are committed to helping you charge ahead, and our innovative EV charging solutions ensure that you achieve full compliance with the NCC 2022. On-site renewable energy equipment monitoring, electric vehicle charging monitoring, battery systems monitoring, and energy data consolidating are all aspects outlined in the updated National Construction Code that IPD puts at the forefront of our products.

One of the most significant modifications in the NCC 2022 is the prominence of energy efficiency and sustainability. This directly affects EV chargers, as they are fundamental to the larger objective of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. The code now insists on buildings to be more energy efficient and encourages the use of renewable energy sources.

NCC 2022 also has substantial considerations of accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring that buildings and infrastructure are usable by all.

The NCC 2022 supports adaptive design and scalability, which is vital for the EV charging infrastructure. This ensures that buildings and developments are constructed with the flexibility to adapt to shifting demands. For EV chargers, it means that new charging stations can be added and existing ones expanded without major alterations. IPD specialises in three-phase chargers that are ready to accommodate any evolving electric vehicle requirements, as opposed to standard single-phase chargers that may necessitate upgrades or replacements.

The National Construction Code 2022 is a momentous change for the installation of electric vehicle chargers in Australia. With a focus on energy efficiency, accessibility, streamlined approval processes, adaptive design, and local customisation, the NCC 2022 paves the way for a prompt expansion of EV charging infrastructure, and IPD wants to help you charge ahead.

As electric vehicles become more prevalent on Australian roads, the availability of convenient and efficient charging options will be essential to their widespread adoption.

For any further questions regarding electric vehicle charging infrastructure, please contact IPD at customerservice@ipd.com.au or 1300 556 601.

How to communicate with your committee

As an owner, what communication approach is most effective for prompting the strata committee to respond to requests, instructions, or questions?

24 www.lookupstrata.com.au

You need to make sure that your message to the committee is clear and it needs to be something they can make a decision on.

The clearer, the better. You need to make sure that your message to the committee is clear, and it needs to be something they can make a decision on.

If you provide a lot of words, and include nothing that enables the committee to make a decision, you’re just throwing out statements without any questions.

That’s a mistake.

To begin with, you need to compel the committee to take an action they can take, and committees make decisions.

You’ve got to give them a firm concept, we call it a motion, that they can decide upon. That way, they must take action.

Identifying thermal loss and improving energy efficiency in buildings

What are AI capabilities to identify thermal loss and improve the energy efficiency of buildings?

In the not too distant future, a specialised AI-based platform will provide energy audits for building owners.

26 www.lookupstrata.com.au

Stephen: We’re currently working with a company developing a comprehensive energy auditing system using our external thermal imaging combined with the internal thermal assessment and thermal monitoring to create a comprehensive energy auditing platform.

In the not too distant future, there will be a specialised AI based platform that can provide energy audits for building owners.

It’s designed primarily for the industrial and commercial space, but it will have applicability in high-rise residential, especially where the building has an integral HVAC system. It’s not that far away.

Edwina: We will see much more in this space, with environmental and social governance becoming a big part of the industry. The technology is moving that way.

The government is advocating for change and for buildings to become carbon-neutral.

It’s only natural that the technology will evolve in this direction.

How do we know if the contract was signed validly?

Although not on the committee, the builder signed a three year contract when he was unfinancial. Is the contract valid?

Our builder owns a few lots in the building but is not on the committee. Our strata manager sent our committee a contract. The committee found the builder had signed the three year contract.

Further investigation indicates the builder was unfinancial when he signed the contract.

Should the contract be signed by at least two committee members? Is the contract valid?

We would need to analyse some key elements, such as the capacity in which the builder/ owner signed the agreement.

28 www.lookupstrata.com.au

Strata schemes enter into agreements by affixing their “common seal” to it. Then, persons will “attest to” the common seal being affixed by writing their signatures next to it.

There are different ways to attest to the affixing of a common seal. Section 273 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) specifically outlines the way to affix the common seal to an agreement: 1. T he seal of an owners corporation that has only one owner or 2 owners must not be affixed to any instrument or document except in the presence of the owner or owners or the strata managing agent of the owners corporation.

2. The seal of an owners corporation that has more than 2 owners must not be affixed to any instrument or document except in the presence of—

a. 2 persons, being owners of lots or members of the strata committee, that the owners corporation determines for the purpose or, in the absence of a determination, the secretary of the owners corporation and any other member of the strata committee, or

In the example given, we would need to analyse some key elements, such as the capacity in which the builder/owner signed the agreement.

b. the strata managing agent of the owners corporation.

• the common seal was affixed; or

3. The strata managing agent must attest the fact and date of the affixing of the seal— a. by his or her signature, or b. if the strata managing agent is a corporation, by the signature of the president, chairperson or other principal officer of the corporation or by any member of staff of the corporation authorised to do so by the president, chairperson or other principal officer.

For example, whether: • the owners corporation is the named party to the contract (or whether it was the builder); • two persons attested to the common seal being affixed.

If not, the agreement may not have been entered into properly.

NSW Govt Announces $10million Grant for EV Ready Building Upgrades.

Exciting news for all residents and owners of strata buildings across NSW. The NSW Government has unveiled a $10 million grant program to retrofit buildings with the technology needed to support EV charging stations.

The EV Ready Building Grant Program is designed to assist eligible strata apartment buildings in both metropolitan and regional areas.

Here’s what you need to know: What Does the Grant Cover?

The program will co-fund up to 80% of the cost for each building upgrade, with a maximum cap of $80,000. This means eligible strata apartment buildings can get substantial financial support for EV infrastructure improvements. Whether it’s installing EV charging stations or upgrading electrical infrastructure to support EV charging, the grant is here to help.

In addition to retrofitting EV charging infrastructure, the program is dedicated to supporting the installation of up to 4 shared-use EV chargers in visitor parking spots. This means that residents, guests, and visitors can conveniently charge their EVs, making it easier for everyone to embrace EVs as a sustainable mode of transportation.

(02) 9492 8200

Why Should You Apply?

By applying for the EV Building Grant Program, you can take advantage of significant cost savings associated with owning an EV, including reducing the cost of installing EV charging infrastructure in a common area. Not only will this grant increase the value and appeal of your strata scheme, but it will also encourage the use of EVs and reduce carbon emissions.

How to Apply To seize this exciting opportunity, visit – https://www.energy.nsw.gov.au/businessand-industry/programs-grants-andschemes/electric-vehicles/electric-vehicleready.

Applications will remain open until the funding is exhausted, so be sure to review the eligibility criteria and don’t miss your opportunity to be part of this green revolution to secure your building’s share of the $10 million grant fund.
