The main problem we’re facing now is with the SM and Strata Managing company. To secure support from the offender for renewing their management contract, the SM created an amended set of AGM minutes (created recently) that falsely added an owner, who is also a friend of the offender, as a committee member, even though only three members were elected at the AGM. The day before the altered minutes were created, the SM had already implied, incorrectly, in an email that this owner was on the committee, and it appears the amended minutes were then used to justify that claim. This was done to manipulate voting numbers and create an artificial “majority” in favour of the offender’s unauthorised AC installation.
The SM also claims that committee members required that they be contacted individually and that their votes remain anonymous. This appears to be another cover to manipulate votes. However, this not consistent with Clauses 18(1), 15(1), and 16 of the SSMA 2015.
