VCAT Water Damage and Common Property Dispute

This case revolves around an unapproved alteration, the installation of a rooftop pool and garden, which significantly affected the common property in several ways. It’s a timely reminder that any changes impacting common property must be properly authorised, with clear plans, engineering reports, and full details circulated to all owners before a vote is taken. Proper processes protect the scheme, ensures transparency, and help avoid costly disputes like this one.
