Who is the Judge and Jury – Strata Committee or Strata Manager?
NCAT (the tribunal) are the “judge and jury”. The strata committee and/or the strata manager can issue Notices To Comply which should be on an official form and refer to the by-law that has allegedly been broken. If you ignore the NTC and commit the alleged breach again, they can take you to NCAT and ask that you be fined.
Is the Strata Committee made up of all owners or only some?
The strata committee can comprise anyone who is duly elected to it. This can be renters or even non-residents if they are nominated by an owner and elected at an AGM. In blocks with more than 50 per cent registered tenants, the election of one as a tenants’ representative has to be organised but the tenants’ rep has no voting power and can be excluded from the discussion of “sensitive” matters
How do I find out who is on the Strata Committee and who has proxy’s?
