As an interested party in this application to NCAT I thought I would update this thread. I don’t agree with some of the content posted by the OP but won’t bother going into that as there is even more interesting detail.
The application was lodged by the OP in their name and 3 other parties. However as this matter proceeded through NCAT it was revealed that one of these parties had in fact died 2 years earlier. There was never any explanation as to why a dead person was included in the application but this reduced the number of real applicants from 4 to 3. It was also discovered that the person specifically nominated in the application to manage the scheme as the compulsory administrator was also dead and had been dead for almost a year. There was also never any explanation of this and as you can imagine NCAT wasn’t impressed by all these dead people in the application. Of the 3 remaining applicants, one was also a very elderly person who is uncontactable except through the OP who manages their affairs. The fourth applicant is also an elderly person and how this person got caught up in this farcical application is a mystery to most owners and residents.
There are 36 apartments in the scheme with the OP owning two and apparently acting for a third and fourth in the application. This left 32 potential respondents. Out of these 32 potential respondents, at least 22 opposed the OP’s application to hire their preferred strata managing agency with NCAT also questioning that agency’s independence. NCAT rejected the application of the OP and referred the strata scheme to a new strata managing agency for compulsory administration.
