Thanks Jimmy
Will do , one of the reasons I am still posting is I want people to see what is happening our here in Strata land. Some committees are wonderful and have the best intentions for their building but some are there for all the wrong reasons. They answer to no one, there is no accountability. Where else in the world do you get your hands on 600,000 dollars of other people’s money and have no assurances, no accountability, no transparency, no qualifications, all power and no responsibility.
Our water ingress has now gone through three floors from the roof over six years of conflict. These guys are arguing over a timber deck and some tiles and avoiding fixing the membrane. What is dismaying is that it will be the individual owner who must enforce the strata laws again. Going back to NCAT, oh yes, I yearn for those days when I get a member in front of me who thinks individual owners are the rogues and the KTMs. To be fair, my last member was wonderful and tried so hard to help me. Fingers crossed we get another one of those. I have been in the tribunal 5 times just to get my roof fixed. It shouldn’t be this hard. Orders should be clearly defined. Our orders were general and their lawyers have jumped on it. An honourable committee with the building’s best interests in mind would not have looked for the way around the orders. The loopholes in the law are huge i.e. no consequences for not complying to orders from the appeal panel …Really? We have not been able to enjoy our roof terrace for four years. Let alone the mould and five wet rooms. We were hoping to avoid NCAT but it is not possible with this committee. Sorry I sound a little whiney will celebrate with you all when my roof is fixed and restored.
Thanks one and all will keep you posted Happiest of Easters to you all !
