How do I get body corporate approval?

If a Tidy Locker is not already installed in your apartment building, an application for approval should be made to the Body Corporate or Executive Committee prior to installation/placement.

Download your  body corporate/strata approval letter template here. 

To formalise your request, it should be in writing and contain details of the owner, unit number, and contact details. Also, include specific details of the Tidy Locker, like measurements and clearly outline the proposed materials to be used. A sketch of the proposed placement of the locker is recommended.
