While we are on the subject... thought min had a draft pretty much done with just a few left in the hard basket. Last night remembered the list we had sent of the things covered in the body c for another property we owned. That reminded me at least some of the things in that haven't been mentioned at all. The list is below.
Namely caravans. This could sometime be important in case someone thinks they should be able to use a parking space for a caravan.
Another thought was trees. Haven't reread my list but think it included keeping trees below a certain height 1.2m??? which could be important.
So maybe people would like to read this, specially the keeper of the korparate (min) in case there is anything we else we should look at. regds roz

Hi, after the discussion about smoking last night dug out the email I sent last year about the body corp rules for our section. Smoking not mentioned but these are real sections that will take separate houses. Think these are fairly typical. Rgds roz

Have had some interest in the rules I mentioned. Earthsong have some things in their body corp doc. Frances was using this as a guide for our own I think.
The aim of the rules it to let people have maximum benefit of their homes without upset and without reducing their resale value. Etc etc
Can bring the hard copy if people interested but this is a list of the key words. Have excluded the ones that obviously won't affect us.
Reading them, and realising they have been thought up for a reason highlights how easy it would be for someone to upset other owners. One we were talking about this morning was what is to stop someone who uses a motorbike riding into the common area to park next to their unit?
Ok:
No non residential use
No disrepair
No untidiness
No rubbish
No subdivision
Must repair damage to common areas
No unsightly machinery
No stockpiling of earth etc
No advertising signs except estate agents'
No living in unfinished houses
Tree height allowable
No commercial use
No animals except limited cats and dogs
No caravans parked
No tents
Access for body corp
No corrugated iron, post and wire etc fences
No fences taller than 1.2m
No plastic sheets or tarpaulins
No unintegrated garages
Graffiti to be removed within 5 days
No out of the ordinary satellite dishes etc
No bright colours eg on doors (sorry marianne yellow no go here)
A lot of rules, but guess they have been developed from experience, and a lot do make sense if you are trying to create a place where people can enjoy themselves. You can all have a lie down now!! Regds roz
