Re 75% of owners agreeing to sell a block to developers, a major issue is, like me, some owners are in a small minority in unit blocks (1 in 12 units in my case) so if a sale is forced, I have nowhere to live and cannot hope to buy something similar to where I am now (across the road from Maroubra beach).
Incidentally, you don’t need an apostrophe in plurals……… “phoenixer’s”…….

Re your quiz, I beg to differ on parking thieves, at least those that don’t live in the building. There is no legal way to prevent them thieving – police won’t attend as it’s private property, even when the thief is blocking access to someone else’s garage so they can’t get their car out to go to work (it has happened to me), the council will not get involved and say they don’t have the power, and wheel clamping is illegal in NSW. The council’s response was that it was the block’s responsibility to install gates with access cards, but when there are 2 vehicle entrances and 10 out of 12 units are rented, the logistics of managing the system are just impractical.
The NSW Government’s recent review of strata legislation was a complete waste of time as regards this problem and it shows no sign of doing anything constructive on the issue.
So much for promises – I emailed Randwick Council asking it to debate the issue at a meeting and a staff member rang back to say they do not have the resources to administer illegal parking and do not intend to do anything about it. So we are no further ahead
