As a strata manager I am often getting emails from owners “why did the levies go up so much!”
The Strata Manager does not set the budget which results in the levies. The Owners Corporation, made up by Owners that attend the AGM are the ones that set the budget and have influence over what the levies are.
If you want to know more about what’s driving these changes being on the committee and/or being at the AGM is the best thing to do.
