Myriad of problems at my Strata in Sydney NSW. As a sort of ‘circuit-breaker’ could we get rid of our hopeless-for-years Strata Manager and also our besieged Executive Committee/s who try and do things right but are stymied at every turn and harassed by nasty, nasty, selfish owners (resident and otherwise)…… and VOLUNTARILY have a compulsory Strata Manager appointed for a year or so?
Could the current EC do it? Or would it need to be voted in at an EGM or AGM by Special Resolution to save any NCATTing and such.
I vaguely know the nuts and bolts. Just a brief suggestion of the best avenue to go down would be great thanks. Don’t want to waste anyones valuable time.
We need to have a really tough, authoritative and attentive person preferably not on site so no one on site can be exposed to the nastiness here. I’m talking serious sociopaths.

Getting a statutory appointment strata manager is one of those “Be careful what you wish for” situations, not least because the strata manager has to do everything by the book and you have lost control of your owners corp.
Much better is to first find the strata manager who will take over, and then vote at your next AGM (or general meeting) to delegate all the powers of the EC to the strata manager.
That means that at any point in the future you can rescind the agreement, and you can still have your EC and the strata manager can consult with them as much or as little as you wish.
But when it comes to dealing with the nasties in the building, the EC steps back and lets the strata manager get on with it.
The first thing you need to do is identify the right strata manager and they will advise you on how to proceed, including getting rid of the incumbent.
