Counsel/strata Approval

22 July 2016 - 09:11 PM

Hey all.

So i was chasing the engineering data for my apartment complex to find the load rating on the floating floors (2nd storey, built in the 60s) to see how large of an aquarium i can safely have without it landing ontop of the neighbours. I own the flat myself so i dont need a land lords approval.

The strata company is telling me i have to apply to them before buying it and they will seek counsel approval. I can see a justification for a built in unit. but as a stand alone cabinet and tank doesnt require attaching to, or modification of, the building structure counsel approval was not nessecary.

What is everyone thoughts on this?

Also i beleive the standard rating for a floating concrete floor is 500kg per square meter, if someone can correct me on that it would be great.
