Should the Secretary of the Strata Committee have to pay for a hard copy of the Strata Roll and Minutes to the AGM and SC meetings? I was forced to by my Strata Manager.

If you were only charged for photocopying, at the rate stipulated in the strata agency agreement, then that is probably an unavoidable expense.

On the other hand, if you were charged for access to the records that is not appropriate. Those records are at the heart of the responsibilities of the secretary, who also determines who has access to the records. Notwithstanding the delegation of the duties of the secretary to a strata managing agent, the secretary is still entitled to exercise their functions as set out in s43 SSMA 2015, by virtue of s54(2) SSMA 2015.

You will probably find there is already a signed agreement in place between you and them as a service provider for what their service include and what it doesn’t. Check that first I think.

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.
