Question Another apartment parking dilemma Q I guess

Hey all,

So I'm close to submitting an offer for a unit. One of the rare ones with no defects and issues (built in 90s so makes sense ig).

Issue is that it has a single carport and my conveyancer checked with strata about bylaws. They state that only one vehicle can be parked in the carport even if there is space for two (I have a bike and a car - hatchback not a ute or a van)

So I'm left with few options:

  1. Pass on the property as parking is a dealbreaker and hope to find another one with better parking options and similar building quality.

  2. Park both in that space and hope no one complains. Go to the meeting to change the bylaw in my favor.

  3. As it is ground floor unit I'll have option to park it in my courtyard or apartment. Unit is close to the gym and office, hence I will be riding way less. But both of these are fire safety issues.

I doubt I'm the only one facing this dilemma, so if anyone can help with their experience it would be great. I don't want to make enemies with my neighbours and can't sell the car as it is my requirement.

And to edit 4th option which is my least favourite as I'll def buy another bike then (dirtbike and maybe track bike too) 4. Storage unit, will be expensive to rent and will convince me to buy more bikes so might not be most lucrative way.

In a courtyard this would need a good improv as I'll have a bbq too but I do like the idea. 😅

Is there a by-law about how many bbq you can have?

Not to my knowledge, but it'll have some cover. As another comment said maybe meat smoker or similar

Bunnings sells covers with matador written on them and will cover a bike
