Body Corporate Approval for Alterations and Renovations

Body Corporate Approval for Alterations and Renovations

Alterations and renovations in sectional title properties, such as adding extensions or modifying existing structures, require prior written consent from the body corporate. In some cases, owners might need municipal approval as well, especially if the alteration affects the exterior or common property.

Key Requirements

• Written consent from the body corporate.
• Special resolution if the renovation impacts common property.
• Compliance with municipal bylaws on building plans and structural integrity.

The body corporate's responsibility is to ensure that the alterations do not negatively impact other owners or the aesthetics of the complex.
