Penalties for Non-Approved Planting by Strata Owners/Residents
Under Section 8(1) of our strata by-laws, owners are required to obtain approval from Strata Council before making an alteration to Common Property, including Limited Common Property, and may be required to take responsibility for any expenses relating to the alteration.
Pursuant to the By-Law, this rule requires that owners seek the approval of Strata Council before planting any shrubs, trees, or invasive species (rule does not apply to flowers and shrubs in planters/vases situated on balconies and patios).
A list of strata-approved plants is here. acceptableshrubsforplanting-february112019.pdf
Owners are asked to limit their approval requests to plants on the list.
Below is an Approval Request Form owners will need to complete and submit to the Strata Council as part of the approval process, if they wish to do any landscaping.

In the past, some residents have planted invasive species resulting in unwanted spread and potential removal expense to the Strata, which means to the other owners in the complex. Accordingly, failure by owners to obtain approval prior to completing any planting may result in fines under the Strata By-Laws.
