New to the forum and would be grateful for help on understand a simple matter but which actually isn’t when I need to get to obtain details about my building as an owner.

I know that the Owner’s Corporation is made up of all the owners of a building and that decisions are mostly made together or by voting. But who is the Owners Corporation?

The problem is when I ask for documents from the company or executive committee managing my building I am told that I do not have that right as in this case I am not the owner’s corporation but an individual.

Apparently I need to ask the owner’s corporation for permission to get those documents, and a vote is conducted as to whether the majority agree I can get that document. I am told that this is to prevent people with their own agenda causing problems, and that the owner’s corporation is like a democracy where people vote for a president and ministers (the executive committee) who make the most of decisions, and that everything else is voted. Fair enough but I only want one document!

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.
