Where could I find any legal reference to the understood fact that Victorian law required the provision of an external toilet to be available on Strata unit developments in the early 1970s. After 50 years of such a facility being maintained by the Body Corporate, a change in owner of one of the units is claiming this toilet as private property. The original plan of subdivision is ambiguous but has never been questioned prior to this change of owner. A long term plumber recalls plumbing it separately from the four individual meters servicing the units on the late 1990s.
How can we obtain absolute clarity on the original plan of subdivision and thus the true ownership of the external toilet? Is adverse possession by the Owner's Corporation a possibility should the plan of subdivision show private ownership?
