Your owners corporation (formerly body corporate) can only make significant alterations to the use or appearance of its common property if the alterations are either:
- listed in the maintenance plan
- approved by special resolution at a general meeting.
A special resolution is also required if the common property is to be upgraded, renovated or improved and the:
- estimated total cost is double annual total fees, or
- works require a planning building permit.
Urgent works to ensure safety or prevent significant loss or damage do not require a special resolution. This applies only to the work necessary to address the safety, loss or damage.
