Hi Mick,
I agree with Andrew. Aggregation isn’t exactly a burning issue out here, but the references to unfair application and hardship in s548A(1) beg the question of what is reasonable. Many units are sold with parking and storage included. Is it reasonable for an owner to buy extra parking and storage? I think so, but some type of arbitrary limit has to apply to distinguish common circumstances from exceptional ones. That’s why personally I believe that one separate car space and/or storage lot is reasonable. The question of whether all lots must be in the same strata plan is an interesting one. Not all plans nowadays are discrete, identifiable buildings with clear separation. In some cases they can be interwoven and indistinguishable in physical terms. Not allowing aggregation may be illogical in such circumstances, but that’s an issue for greater minds than mine to ponder.
Cheers,
James
