Prospective purchasers have no rights to inspect the records of the Strata Scheme unless authorised by someone who has, and that’s the Owner (Vendor) or the Mortgagee of a Lot, who can do so or authorise someone else such as a purchaser’s solicitor / conveyancer to do so, for the prescribed fee; currently $30 for the first hour, and $15 for each half-hour thereafter (or part thereof) made to the Owners Corporation.

Owners do have access to summary financial papers at each General Meeting of the Owners Corporation, but if more detail or other records is required then arrangements need to be made in writing, be accompanied by the fee, and be with 10 days notice to whoever it is that holds the records, usually the Scheme’s Strata Manager who by the way can charge additionally for any services that they provide such as photocopying.

I’m an owner who wants to get copies of monthly interim financial reports for the past few months rather than wait until end September for summary financial papers at AGM.The Owners Corporation has ignored my request.  Could you advise what Strata law I refer to [obligating the Strata manager to provide me with the information] when requesting interim financial reports from our Strata manager.

The interim financial reports are in PDF format and are emailed to the Owners Corporation. What fee should I be charged to emailing me these last 4 months interim reports?
