      I have refused to pay a levy due later this month, unless works following a previous levy paid for another project have been completed to our satisfaction.  We are still waiting 3 months on for new gates to be functioning properly – at present some gates you cant get out, and others don’t close at all!

      We live in South Melbourne

      Are we able to withhold funds legally?

      thanks

        The short answer to that is no, the current levy due is a debt payable and whether or not works have been done properly has nothing to do with it.

        More generally it is counterproductive to take that kind of position – if you haven’t paid your levies it only makes you look bad, and while I am not sure of the position in Victoria, in NSW interest will start accruing one month from the due date.
