I am sure that the OCT would want to be consulted if the owner of the apartments undertook the work off their own volition.

Read it earlier today. Definitely a shared cost.

So if there was a leak and it went through to the unit below the penthouse then who's problem?

Common problem.

Well if I was the penthouse owner I would sit there going hmmm

I'd not be paying the bill as I hadn't signed it for the work to be done and I would then go and extend my penthouse upwards by another storey and get rid of the domes during it.

Not so simple. See OC Act S. 49(2). Also heritage issues. Very interesting. LL
