Yes. The body corporate can reasonably require payment of all costs incurred in granting the rights, including legal and extraordinary general meeting costs, in addition to compensation for the grant of the rights. In additional to compensation, we have also assisted bodies corporate to obtain benefits such as the cost of a building wash down and new fences.
