Thanks for the feedback.  NSW is the state.

 

In addition to this, the EC has proceeded to approve a quote via email despite questions being raised by lot owners (to which the secretary has failed to respond) and despite the matter being placed on the agenda for the AGM for consideration by lot owners.  Does the Secretary have the power and authority to instruct the SM to accept the quote?  Is the SM obliged under SSMA to act upon the instruction?

 

Furthermore, decisions made by the EC in writing via email have not been listed on the Notice of Agenda for confirmation and as such have not been confirmed in the EC Meeting Minutes.  So much for transparency!

Whale,

Thank you for your reponse.

Our SM advised “I have always known the isolation taps to be the responsibility of the Owners Corporation. They are always located under the kitchen sink or in the laundry cupboard. If the isolation tap seizes and cant be turned off, the potential for a flood throughout the building is greater – that’s why they are considered common property.”

I suspect this is another case of it being easier for the plumber and the SM to charge the OC rather than the lot owner.
