Most strata companies offer on line access for all owners to view their owner levy ledger and the balance sheet with statement of income and expenditure. Some are now providing more information with copies of the strata plan and by-laws. This is particularly convenient for off site owner investors wishing to monitor how their levies are being spent and owners/property managers wanting to access by-laws. Its usually easy to log on and navigate. An added bonus – there is usually no cost.
Restricting access to the Executive Committee limits all owners ability to scrutinise expenditure and lacks financial transparency.
If you do not receive a satisfactory response from your current strata manager then seek quotes for a new one. In NSW change of strata manager can only be voted on a General Meeting. A potential new strata manager will also provide the Motions to go on the AGM Meeting Notice and other useful advice. On the Strata Communities Australia NSW website you could search for strata managers in your area.
