I just need a little advise regarding my grandmothers Strata complex. It is a complex of 20 townhouses in Sydney.
The previous Strata manager retired a year ago, and he recommended a new manager and put him up to be voted on at the last AGM.
The committee is made up of 5 owners who live in the complex. In the last 12 months, they’ve held no meetings. There are a few issues with the complex, one of them is broken drains across the driveway that are a serious safety issue and have damaged vehicles. I raised it with the previous Strata manager about two years ago, and have again with the new manager twice in the last year. He’s advised that he obtained quotes and put them to the committee, however they have not responded.
Additionally, the complex has a small visitor car park of only three spaces, and a few months ago an unregistered car was parked in it and has not moved. Requests to the manager to have the committee place a notice on the vehicle and have it removed in accordance with the new act have been ignored.
I had intended to raise the issues at the AGM as a proxy for my grandmother, however we received an agenda yesterday for a meeting that is to be held in 2 weeks time. No prior notice was given and the manager has now stated that as the agenda has been produced it cannot be changed. The agenda has only the standard motions (accept the budget, reappoint the manager etc) with absolutely no motions from owners.
Does the committee (via its manager in this case) need to provide prior notice of the AGM to request motions from owners… this is what happens in my personal complex, and another that I have an investment in.
