I get the feeling that this type of apathy is endemic within Owners Corporations, and so any changes to NSW Strata Legislation (SCMA) will be of little benefit to those of us who desperately want to see our Plans managed efficiently and inclusively. People like me can't do it on our own, even as benevolent dictators!
It could be worse, Whale, as it is at our block of 38. The Executive Committee is seven. The Treasurer has done illegal renos and special by-law is being drawn up to protect us; another member has built stuff in the common garden area outside his unit; the Secretary and Chairwoman do next-to-nothing, another is an absentee landlord who's unit is for sale; the other two are absolute passengers. They are all enabled by an unhealthy proxie situation.
On top of all that, the place looks quite run-down but 'Ya!', the coffers are healthy. So what are they going to do? Fix the place up? No! they are talking about reducing the levies!
(Suggestions on how to conduct a coup eat May's AGM or sooner would be welcome.)
