Crazy people. It’s just a traditional red roof.

Woman loses QCAT battle over neighbours’ complaints about roof painted wrong shade of red

A woman has been ordered to repaint her roof by a Queensland tribunal after neighbours complained the colour was “offensive”, “disturbing,” and “threatening”.

The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) handed down its ruling today, following a three-year-long dispute between Maria Gourley and her body corporate.

It comes after Maria Gourley painted her roof “heritage red” instead of “Nutech coral” at her townhouse at The Gap, in March 2023.

How could this woman even think it was OK to have an old fashioned red for her roof when all the neighbours had moved into the 21st century with their new-tech red?

But seriously, maybe the best solution is to sell the place and get some new neighbours.

Preferably a place without a “body corporate”.

It sounds like a plan to get away from a very unpleasant situation.

Presumably the neighbours felt that it detracted from the ‘aesthetics’ of the place.

You can see in the picture that the roof next door to hers is covered in black solar panels.

Which, i’m guessing, have no aesthetic effect at all.
