Recently it was decided that a tree overhanging the fence of a block of strata apartments needed pruning (as it does every year) – for a variety a of reasons.

It was raised with the strata manager who advised to call a tree pruner/lopper to organise a time. On this instruction, one of the strata members did so and the tree was pruned.

Apparently the tree was one that (due to its increased size this year) required council approval to prune.

The strata manager says it was not their responsibility to raise/check whether council approval was required. The tree pruner/lopper says it was the strata manager's responsibility and not theirs.

The strata has engaged and paid for a professional strata manager and a professional tree pruner/lopper, but the strata is still responsible?
