I agree that an active committee can save a lot of money by using local tradies rather than big maintenance companies with overheads. A better job can be achieved if the committee supervises the work and talks to the tradies directly about what is needed and listens to their advice. That requires someone with the time and inclination and enough nous to distinguish good advice from poor.
Where I am, our levies are low but we maintain things well. As treasurer, I am not afraid to put levies up when needed and we maintain a good contingency reserve so we can do anything necessary in a timely manner.
