In my SP there is the concept that volunteers will do just about everything.
I'll give you an example; just last week one owner complained on the chalk board about the potholes in our 10km of internal roads and how one person cannot fix them all – a scribbled cry for help if you will.
The response from the roads co-ordinator was to get together a pothole workday. The idea is a collective of owners go out and fill trailers with gravel from our internal quarry and then drive around the SP filling potholes. (We do pay a significant amount in levies for roadworks but there is still an expectation that owners will do roadworks.)
Some people in my SP are openly ridiculed for not “participating” in a way that others want them to participate. If someone “complains” to the EC about common property needing repair or maintenance then the response is usually fix it yourself.
We have a significant amounts of assets and property that require constant maintenance. The “right people” get paid for their work while others are expected to do it for free. There are even people who do significant work for free but still get ridiculed because it is not work that makes the EC look good.
There are those who want everything for free and those who are happy to pay to get things done via their levies. There is a division between the two that exists in many strata plans.
Ignore the petty people who make the comments.
