I have on occasion had to write to SCA (and to my colleagues in the media) to stop referring to SCA as representing owners.
Yes, they have an owners group, but whenever you ask them the critical question “in a dispute between an owner and strata manager, whose side do you take?” they fall very silent.
SCA Queensland is the worst. A couple of years ago they complained to the Fin Review that I had written that they thought pre-sales of management contracts was “fine and dandy”.
Their complaint? They had never discussed it so they had no opinion. What a load of crap! They are enablers at the very least and compliant co-beneficiaries. Maybe they don’t discuss it on a “don’t mention the war” basis.
To be fair to SCA-NSW, they are trying to be an independent and responsible body but if you were a member and they took an owner’s side against you, you’d be a bit miffed, wouldn’t you?
Complain to Fair Trading about strata managers – it is the licensing body. They won’t do anything either but at least you’ve registered the complaint with someone who might care.
