Original poster here. Thanks to everyone who has replied with helpful advice. I just wanted to mention one or two things.
The first Special Levy contribution is due in October of about $2,600 out of the total of about ten and a half grand for a year. So not immediately but still cynical of the committee and strata manager to sneak a $330,000 Special Levy though under cover of COVID, in my and my allies’ view. Our usual quarterly levies are about $700 per quarter; stupidly low, reduced by this mob too.
Especially as ‘windows’ has been on AGM agendas since 2015 and the nucleus of three Offices Bearers on the Strata Committee (plus four other cronies to enable them) has been the same since then.
They have done next to nothing about the windows. It has just been up for ‘discussion’ at subsequent AGMs until this year 2020 when they have one quote with no back-up information and the $330,000 Special Levy. When this got push-back they sent an extra email saying they could reduce the Special Levy to $200,000 but this did not happen at the meeting.
So yes, ScotlandX, a Special Levy of $330,000 but no genuine quotes. Not even one. As another owner remarked on seeing the AGM minutes, “The windows issue is a mess”.
