Thank you Struggler and JimmyT, most thoughtful and considered.
But, blow-me-down! When I looked at the link JimmyT mentioned: Strata Community Australia, the strata managers’ professional body, who have just launched an initiative to provide accreditation for strata manager across the country, one of the NSW sponsors is the exact strata manager of which I mostly spoke in my original post. They have got the ‘can only do what the executive committee authorizes’ (and that’s hardly anything) down to a fine art.
And they DO make decent money, JimmyT for what they do, despite what they say. Plus, as an ex-employee said to me, ‘the largesse and commissions heaped on them by suppliers is astounding’.
The individual strata managers are brazenly referred to as ‘portfolio managers’ by title.
I say again, they need to be more pro-active and more accountable. Struggler makes some good points. I believe they have the power to do it but not the will. In our block, everyone thinks what the strata manager says, goes.
