Action against the SM is a waste of time as they are employed by the Strata and have no powers to make decisions without the approval of the strata, same apples to the Strata Company.
While you a re right about the strtata manager, the “Strata Company” is the name given in WA to the Owners Corporation or Body Corporate, so you are arguing against yourself.
THIS (click here) excellent factsheet published by Ace Strata Management says: If the dispute is over a by-law, the Strata Company can issue a written notice to the recalcitrant tenant/owner. If the notice is not action[ed], the Strata Company may them impose fines through the state-based tribunal, Office of Fair Trading or consumer affairs bureau.
It goes on to describe how you can take action against an owner and/or the Strata Company at the State Legislative Tribunal for failure to abide by by-laws.
