Strata Renovation Rules: What You Need Approval For
Planning a renovation in your strata property? While sprucing up your space is exciting, it's crucial to know what requires approval to avoid headaches later. In most strata schemes, renovations fall into three categories: cosmetic work, minor renovations, and major renovations.
Cosmetic Work: Simple changes like painting walls or replacing carpets usually don't need approval.
Minor Renovations: Installing new flooring or changing light fixtures often requires approval from the owners’ corporation.
Major Renovations: Structural changes, bathroom remodels, or adding air conditioning definitely need approval, often requiring a special resolution from the owners' corporation.
Why Get Approval?
Skipping the approval process can lead to fines or orders to undo your renovations. It’s also important because some changes can impact common property or your neighbours. Engaging with your owners’ corporation early ensures your project complies with strata by-laws, keeping everything above board.
