The overseeing authority, currently branded NCAT, have the delusional view:
“The legislation has always envisaged that generally, strata schemes would be managed by ordinary lot owners for their own benefit.”
J Bordon: Nulama Village P/L v Owners Strata Plan 61788 (Strata & Community Schemes) [2006] NSWCTTT 550 (25 September 2006)
This is only possible for a few strata plans. A small strata plan of less than ten villas / townhouses with lawn, a driveway and letterboxes, could be managed by ordinary lot owners. An apartment block with hundreds of homes, elevators, gym, building supervisor, electronic key access etc might want more than this.
