Our committee recently sent out a ‘Survey Monkey’ survey with no cover note asking for our opinions on a matter which had previously been thrown out at an AGM. We were given no background or information just a question. They sent the survey to every resident, renters and home owners and if I look over the list of email address in the email we received some homes with two resident emails listed received two surveys. Apparently the ‘yes’ vote won and the committee is moving forward to pursue quotes and telling us all we need to know about installing security cameras (with the location now expanding according to the most recent committee minutes!).

When two residents pointed out that renters are not a part of the voting mechanism and therefore the survey was not acceptable, they were shut down by the President as being the ‘voice of the minority’. One of the most vocal voices around this issue was a renter, who had a vote .. and whose lease ended two weeks ago – they’ve moved out!!

Can I have some feedback re the use of Survey Monkey as a voting mechanism – I can’t believe that out of 50 households, only 6 people said no to the survey, and the committee are moving ahead! I can’t believe that our Strata managers, if they know, would allow this to happen.

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.
