People, please, please, please avoid at all costs a compulsory strata manager. In my opinion the number of good news stories is very low. We are in the midst of a 2 year CSM. Decisions have been made that are not in the best interests of all the owners, tens of thousands of dollars have been spent on legal fees. Owners have applied for mediation which has been denied by the compulsory strata manager thereby forcing an application to NCAT which is very expensive so most people give up. The ‘good’ strata managers will generally not accept a CSM because it signals trouble ahead. Please think twice before you go down this very draconian path.
