Reply To: Strata Committee – Replaced by compulsory manager

@Jimmy

Thanks for the very good points.

Assembling the papers to seek compulsory strata management makes me wonder what possesses some folk to run a scheme so opaquely, so willy-nilly,  that an application like mine is the only avenue left for those whose snout isn’t in the trough and actually want the OC do do what the SSMA demands they do.

After all, if I heard correctly that a compulsory manager when conforming to the SSMA can spend without constraint on a range of matters including, upkeep of the scheme (doing so with no tenders, no economising etc), then (a) more matters will I bet be repaired and maintained than the current committee bothers to address and (b) the scheme’s expenses will invariably rise (who knows by how much) and in turn levies perhaps may also increase.

A compulsory agent who will usher in higher expenses and possibly higher levies. Both of these are direct results of the committee’s stubborn refusal to be transparent in their operations. The committee must think they can defeat such an application to NCAT because, after all, the result of such an appointment will prove to cost all owners including the current committee a very pretty penny indeed.
