The strata manager generally acts on the instruction of the strata committee and/or othe owners corporation. Given that the committee will recommend whether or not their contract will be renewed and they will have to work with the committee until such times as it does, a strata manager is unlikely to go “rogue” and strata prosecuting committee members off their own bat.
You should write a letter to the strata committee asking it to take action to protect the interests of all owners by:
a) ensuring the the work done is compliant with building codes
b) getting the owner of the apartment to agree to by-laws passing responsibility for any changes made to common property from the OC to them (the lot owners).
If the committee refuses to do so, or fails to do so withing two months of being requested to do so, you can go NCAT and seek orders under section 232 (2) regarding the committee’s failure to fulfil its duties.
You will have to seek mediation at Fair Trading first, in which case the committee might put its house in order before being dragged to NCAT.
