We have also had ‘Special Levies’ for the last several years to pay for stages of the fire safety upgrade project. Fortunately, we have regular on site Executive Committee meetings which owners have been encouraged to attend. This is a good forum to raise questions about why and how your levies are being spent. Because we have over 100 lots (units) we also have a facebook page that was started in April this year for use by all residents to access information and raise any issues. We can also log in and download a current Balance Sheet and an Income and Expenditure Report. Ask your strata manager if this can be made available to owners in your strata plan.
