The SSMA does allow owners to be paid for services to the OC.
There are two ways to be paid for your services.
1. Go to a tender process for the services you say you are providing. The OC can then resolve to agree to any one of the proposals. You may be successful. Remember that due to the conflict of interest, you would be excluded from the tender review.
2. At the next GM put a motion on the table to be paid a sum in compensation. It’s up to the OC to agree and set the amount of compensation.
Recognise also that since it’s a two lot strata, in any case you are yourself paying half the cost of your services.
You probably need to also factor in that in you don’t get compensated and stop providing these services, then the OC will suffer some loss, of which you lose 50%.
There are many committee members who provide valuable time and expertise to strata without ever getting any compensation. That’s the beauty of strata ownership.
