Strata Titles Act 1985

An application for the approval of the structural alteration of a lot must set out details of the proposal and such other information as may be prescribed.

If an application is made to a strata company under subsection (1), voting on the application must open within 35 days after the application is received (the allowed period).

If voting on the application does not open as required by subsection (2), the applicant may convene a general meeting, in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which meetings are to be convened by the council, and submit the application to that meeting.

Despite subsection (2), a council may submit an application to a general meeting convened by the council after the allowed period if that meeting is held before a meeting is convened by the applicant under subsection (3).

The owner of a lot or the owner of a leasehold scheme is taken to have approved the structural alteration of a lot as set out in an application for approval served on the owner if —

the owner serves on the applicant written consent to the alteration; or

the owner has not, at the end of 42 days after being given the application, made a written objection to the alteration; or

for a strata scheme, the owner has made such an objection but the objection does not specify the grounds of the objection or the grounds specified are not grounds on which the owner may object under section 87.

A strata company is taken to have approved the structural alteration of a lot as set out in an application for approval served on the strata company if —

the strata company serves on the applicant written consent to the alteration expressed by resolution without dissent; or

despite section 87(2) —

the strata company has not, at the end of 77 days after being given the application, made a written objection to the alteration; or

for a strata scheme, the strata company has made such an objection but the objection does not specify the grounds of the objection or the grounds specified are not grounds on which members of the strata company may object under section 87.
