Dear Tony: Our strata has received several requests from owners for the upgrade of our parking garage and their townhouse garages to electric vehicle charging. They have identified the recent legislative amendments having passed and now we are pressed into responding and granting permission for installations. Several of the sections refer to regulations, but we cannot find them. Without the regulations it is impossible to respond to the requests. Some insight would be helpful.
Strata corporations have an obligation to act reasonably when an owner makes an application for the installation of charging stations, but these amendments and future regulations also impose an obligation on the strata corporations and strata councils to ensure future demands are met.
