I would like to see penalties applied to EC's who make uninformed, unfair decisions that may adversly affect the lives of residents and the integrity of the complex. They should be made more accountable and any incidence of harrassment or bias taken further. And EC's members who participate in behaviours unbecoming a person in “authority” should be asked to step down. I know from past experience that many people go onto an EC in the belief that they can approve works for themselves, deny valid works for others and play favorites with those who bit their tongues.

I completely agree but what chance is there the NSW Govt reforms would be so dramatic as to make a departure from the 50 year old concept of laypeople / owners running their SPs without any real accountability?
If ECs are made accountable, and they should be, then Mr and Mrs Average Owner with little strata savvy are not about to step up and fill seats and that is a radical departure from the current situation.
