Regarding training for strata committee members. If it is to be determined by the secretary and not described in the Strata Management Regulations, it does not sound like the government takes this seriously. A secretary may feel pressured to make the training as light as possible. Who is to say the secretary is qualified to determine a training program anyway?

It should be mandatory to join the FlatChat forum and read the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (or the equivalent in your jurisdiction).

The “secretary” in this context is the Secretary of the Fair Trading Ministry, i.e. a senior civil servant. The government really needs to ditch these archaic and confusing terminologies before it tweaks any more strata laws.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
