Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Planning, upon notice:

In relation to Units Plan 928, known as the Georgetown Apartments and correspondence received by various Ministers from one of the unit owners in Units Plan 928 who is concerned about what appears to be illegal structures in the roof space of unit 4:

(1) Was the work done by the unit owner before seeking approval of the Body Corporate for Units Plan 928;

(2) Is the space common property or does it form part of unit 4;

(3) If it is common property, to what purpose can it be applied by the Body Corporate;

(4) Is it necessary for a Body Corporate to unanimously agree to modifications to the units plan;

(5) Has the Body Corporate for Units Plan 928 agreed to modifications to the units plan in relation to the roof space in unit 4.

Mr Corbell: The answer to the member's questions is as follows:

(1) This issue was an internal matter between the Body Corporate (now referred to as an Owners Corporation) and the unit owner.

(2) According to legal advice received from the ACT Government Solicitor's Office, this area forms part of the common property and not part of unit 4.

(3) An Owners Corporation may, by an unopposed resolution, grant special privileges to unit owners for the enjoyment of the common property or parts thereof.

(4) Yes, but only if the Owners Corporation applies to Planning and Land Management for the modifications to be permanently recorded against the registered Units Plan.

(5) The Owners Corporation has not applied to Planning and Land Management for approval for modifications of the Units Plan.
