NSW: Q&A Strata approval for renovations – What is the process?

ByLeanne Habib

Question: Do we need permission to tile over the top of tiles in our townhouse bathroom and laundry? We will not be disturbing the waterproofing or original tiles?

Answer: Tiles are hard surface flooring and therefore considered a “minor renovation” under the legislation. If the strata committee has been delegated the power to approve minor renovations, this requires an ordinary resolution of the Owner Corporation or majority vote of the strata committee.
