“Strata Sphere, the managers of the tower, cited a bylaw where any hanging “washing, towel, bedding or clothing” affects the “appearance of the building”. OK colour me confused … where does it say “Christmas Lights” in that bylaw?
Remember the days when all streets were decorated, houses ablaze with lights, and children laughing, singing, and loving that Xmas spirit. Now blah blah blah
What a joke! Talk about lacking Christmas spirit. I’d love to see them try and do that at my unit. 2 meter snowman, lights and a train running across our balcony.
There is almost a whole apartment building covered in lights on Sunshine Coast every year looks amazing.
What the hell seriously … They look great and we look forward to it. They have been doing it for a few years never an issue before. Bloody joke, there’s other things to worry about than this, that’s for sure.
Maybe that one couple should sell up and move to Grinchtown. Honestly does anybody know what their power is if you didn’t take them down? They can’t fine you or kick you out of your own property. I live across the road and you can’t see them during the day and there are only such a small amount of units who have them. Wish they all did. It would be spectacular and put the casino to shame. Maybe have a time limit say until 9 at night if they are keeping people awake. But I’d leave mine up.
All residents who want Christmas lights should buy some fibre optic lit trees and place them on balconies. These do not hang and will not contravene the bylaws.
Same everywhere now. 1 complaint out of hundreds of people and the minority rules.
Don’t cave. This is your home. Most outside lights are battery or solar operated so hardly dangerous. It's a month or so … that’s it.
So many body corps are filled with the most miserable owners, whether it be Christmas lights, an elderly person wanting to keep a cat for company etc … Soulless places, heartless people.
Last time I looked Christmas decorations were very different to sheets towels and clothing. Tell them to p*ss off, and keep hanging your lights. In fact keep them up until they send you written notice of adjudication.
Technically right, morally wrong.
