The Strata Titles Act advise that as per Schedule 2 By-law 9:
An owner or occupier of a lot must not transport any furniture or large object through or on common property within the building unless that person has first given to the council sufficient notice of their intention to do so to enable the council to arrange for its nominee to be present at the time when that person does so.
Please note that you should contact your strata manager in the first instance to check if any other rules may apply as each property is different from the next.
