‘Catastrophic’ fire fears fail to switch off Brisbane apartment block’s EV charger

A Queensland adjudicator has rejected an urgent bid to switch off an electric vehicle charger at The Pavilion Apartments in Bulimba. Resident Kin Chen argued that the basement car park lacked fire safety systems to deal with a possible electric vehicle fire. The adjudicator found there was no immediate urgency, noting the charger has operated since about 2020. The body corporate committee had granted retrospective approval last month, with conditions including annual servicing. The broader challenge to that approval has yet to be decided, and the charger remains in use for now.

Queensland tribunal overturns apartment ban on miniature Schnauzer in landmark pet ruling

A Queensland tribunal has ruled that a body corporate acted unreasonably when it repeatedly refused an owner permission to keep her dog. The adjudicator found the Portlinks body corporate in Craiglie, near Port Douglas, failed to consider the request on its merits. Owner Tanya Melville may keep her seven-year-old miniature Schnauzer, Polly, in her apartment, subject to conditions. The conditions include leashing the dog on common property and not allowing it to roam or cause a nuisance. The adjudicator said refusing approval because no pets are allowed is unreasonable under the law.
