    I agree with the points you have made.

    I too think there needs to be better oversight of strata managers. If it doesn’t already exist how about something like a continuing professional development programme which requires strata managers to undertake a minimum number of hours of education each year in order to retain their credential.

    My suggestion is based on experience with our manager, who obviously does not understand the strata law as it now exists but wont acknowledge his deficiencies. I would also suggest that there should be a requirement to put strata management arrangements out to tender on a regular basis.

    I don’t think it’s good enough to simply renew a management arrangement at each AGM without going out to the market at some stage.

    In relation to strata committees, I can see no justification for having a committee comprise more than five members in a complex of less than 100 lots. This should be prescribed in law.
