We have a situation where the building manager is also an owner and is on the executive committee. The problem is, he is the only one with any working knowledge of building matters or strata matters (our managing agent is useless, and has given us bad/negligent advice). He does almost all the work on the executive committee, and always looks for consensus rather than take unilateral action. If the new law prevents him from being one or the other, we will be disadvantaged by either having to get another building manager (at higher cost) or not having enough knowledge and experience on the executive committee. There must be some way around this. I appreciate that in many cases our situation would result in abuses, but this does not apply to us, and things have been working smoothly for a number of years. A blanket ban would disadvantage us.
