      I live in Victoria and am seeking advice in regards to our strata management. And was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

      Firstly, the chairperson of our owner corp is also the manager at our strata. This means we (a few owners and committee members) seem to have no recourse to disagree with her or really get her to agree to general maintenance concerns.

      My property was damaged 3 months ago by water ingress caused by a concrete job on the common property. The response from the manager/ chairperson has been obstructive and it was only after threatening to go to vcat (2 months after the problem was reported) that she got quotes for a building inspector.

      There are other pressing maintenance concerns including drainage and major cracking in walkways. We have also queried having a security door installed at the front of the building to which she simply said no, no discussion.

      What steps can we take to change strata management? How many owners do we need on side? Can this be done without the chairperson?

    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.
