I’ve repeatedly requested the ability to inspect all strata records including correspondence received and sent by the council of owners and much more…the State Administrative Tribunal agreed that the Privacy Act was not grounds to withhold records and ordered that I could inspect “all requested documentation excluding that which is privileged” … 18 months later I’m still waiting!
The strata manager (and current council members) persist in asserting that records can’t be provided because of privacy concerns and that the records I want to inspect either aren’t strata records (tender documents re the facilities manager), belong to the strata manager (data entered into Strata Master) or don’t exist (data not extracted/reports not generated).
I’m seeking the appointment of an administrator and would really appreciate assistance formulating the argument that the strata manager does not own the records and is obligated to extract data from databases and put into a format that can be inspected.
