A Gold Coast father, Sean Hardman, has launched a petition on the Queensland Parliament website to change the bylaws of smoking in strata schemes, after receiving second hand smoke from neighbours and causing health threats to his family.
The Body Corporate and Community Management Act stated people living in strata schemes must not cause a nuisance or hazard, but smoking was not listed.
After being voted down by body corporate, Mr Hardman took the concern to the Queensland Government.
