The occupier of a lot must not, without the written approval of the Body Corporate:-
16.1 effect a structural alteration to the interior of the lot; or
16.2 paint, repaint or carry out work to or alter the exterior of the lot or to the Common Property.

Before deciding whether to give approval, the Body Corporate may require plans and specifications of
the proposed work, alteration, improvement or structure and such other particulars and information as
the Body Corporate may require. Any work, alteration, improvement or structure carried out or erected
in breach of this by-law may be removed by the Body Corporate.

External Appearance and Window Coverings.

Despite any other by-law to the contrary, the occupier of a lot is prohibited from closing in balconies or terraces
(which must remain unenclosed with no shutters, glazing, louvres or similar permanent structures) and must not
erect any structures or change any existing structure on the outside of the lot or the Building except in accordance
with any approval from the local government or any other authority having jurisdiction in respect of such matters. An
occupier of a lot must not hang, install, remove or replace any window covering (including, without limitation, a
curtain, curtain backing, blind, shutter or tinting) unless the colour and design have been approved in writing by the
Body Corporate. In giving such approval, the Body Corporate shall ensure so far as practicable that all window
coverings used in all lots present are uniform appearance when

viewed from Common Property or any other lot.

Maintenance of Lots.
Except where it is the responsibility of the Body Corporate under the Act, the Regulation Module or these by-laws,
each owner shall be responsible for the maintenance of their lot and must ensure that the lot is so kept and
maintained as not to be offensive in appearance to other lot occupiers through the accumulation of excess rubbish
or otherwise. All lots must be maintained to prevent the excessive growth of grass and other vegetation making lots
unsightly, increasing fire risks or contributing to the spread of noxious weeds to other lots. This maintenance
obligation extends to a lot owner maintaining a grease/oil arrestor pits/gross pollutant trap that may have been
installed in a lot for the benefit of that lot owner. The owners of the subject lots shall:
18.1 inspect the grease/oil arrestor pits/gross pollutant traps on a weekly basis an after each storm event and
18.2 enter into an ongoing maintenance contract with a Registered Contractor to clean and maintain the
grease/oil arrestor pits/gross pollutant traps on a regular three monthly cycle and on a “On Call” basis in
the case of an emergency.

Replacement of Glass.

Windows must be kept clean and promptly replaced by and at the cost of the occupier of the lot with fresh glass of
the same kind and weight as at present if broken or cracked. This by-law shall not prohibit an owner from making a
claim on any applicable Body Corporate insurance.

Taps.

The occupier of a lot must not waste water and shall see that all water taps in the lot are promptly turned off after
use. Should the lot be unoccupied for a period of more than a month, then the stopcock or such other similar device
on the hot water system must be turned off.

Utility Infrastructure.

The utility infrastructure must not be used for any purpose other than that for which they were constructed and no
sweepings or rubbish or any other unsuitable substance shall be deposited therein. Any damage or blockage
resulting to any utility infrastructure for misuse or negligence shall be borne by the owner whether the same is
caused by the lot owner or those of his servants, agents, licensees or invitees.

Behaviour of Invitees.

22.1 The occupier of a lot must take reasonable steps to ensure that the occupier’s invitees do not behave in
a manner likely to interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of another lot or the Common Property.
22.2 The occupier of a lot is liable to compensate the Body Corporate in respect of all damage to the

Common Property or damage to Body Corporate asses caused by the occupier or their servants,
agents, licensees or invitees.

22.3 The owner of a lot which is the subject of a lease, tenancy or licence must take reasonable steps,
including any action available under any such lease, tenancy or licence, to ensure that any lessee,
tenant or licensee or other occupier of the lot or their invitees comply with these by-laws.

22.4 The duties and obligations imposed by these by-laws on an occupier but also by the guests, servants,
employees, agents, children, invitees and licensees of such occupier.
