Thanks KP – as we currently have 5 Special By-Laws registered covering everything from the operation and use of the site’s security system (swipe-cards & CCTV) to the placement of solar arrays / hotwater tanks on the common property (roof), all written and submitted for registration to NSW Land & Property Information (formerly the Land Titles Office) by me, and I maintain the Additions/Changes Register, I guess that makes ours one of the 10% (that are well managed); even though I had to Google “IMHO”.
I agree with you though, all that would be difficult in anything other than a self-managed Plan (which ours is) where I have only that one Plan and its 27 Owners to worry about, whereas a Strata Manager (even a good one) with many Plans to look after would have little or no hope.
