I am very sorry to hear of your situation.
Two things come to mind:
(1) You mention the “Strata Manager”. What exactly did you apply for and to whom?
(2) As for the lethargy, ill will or sheer incompetence of the Owners’ Corporation (“OC”), may I suggest you get say 2 quotes for the complete repair of what needs to be done (to get your place to the good and dry state it was before the damage) and then apply to NCAT.
Before applying to NCAT, contact them on
Give them the file number of the case that you or your solicitor took to NCAT and mention the OC has ignored the orders.
Ask NCAT if you can “renew the proceedings” – if so, this requires you fill in a simple 3 page form. A “renewal” is often used if one side fails to abide by orders and the other side, you, want to enforce the orders.
If a renewal, for whatever reason is not possible, NCAT may ask you to apply with a brand new application.
But DO NOT APPLY with the intention of getting yet another order for the OC to handle the repairs. Instead ask NCAT to order the OC pay for the repairs YOU will organise, given history shows the OC has failed to do its duty under s. 106 of the Strata Schemes Management Act and failed to abide by NCAT’s orders.
To prove the sum you want NCAT to instruct the OC to pay you (to then pay the contractor you find), attach the quote to the NCAT application. Providing NCAT with at least 2 quotes will be even better.
