Our strata scheme was registered in 1980 so we are not yet required to lodge an annual fire safety statement and we have managed to fly under the radar and haven’t yet been caught up in the grandfathering of the fire safety legislation.

Rather than wait until we’re hit with a fire order from council, we’d like to start being proactive about our fire safety and we’ll be voting at the AGM for fire extinguishers to be placed on each floor as a low cost, low maintenance starting point.

We also have smokers in the building who traipse up and down the stairs with a lit cigarette and ash and stub their butts on our carpet. Our attempts to pass a by-law preventing smoking on common property has been thwarted several years in a row by said smokers who don’t like to be told what to do.

We also have some residents who are against spending any money unnecessarily where they can’t see an immediate benefit.

Can you guess how much two groups overlap? Yep, if it were a Venn diagram, it would be a complete circle.

So, how do we move past this stalemate and get some common sense on board?
