Reply To: EC will not budget for a tired courtyard garden

Owners are complaining of high levies so any mention of higher levies because of gardens is going to be met with resistance.

What they fail to realise is that a bare looking garden financially impacts the value of the properties there.

The Secretary makes sure what she sees is cared for, but won’t do the same for the others that look into the courtyard. She is on fantastic terms with the Strata Manager, so they always work together, leaving me feeling defeated.

I wish there was a part of the legislation I could refer to, to force them to acknowledge their responsibility to care for the gardens as a whole.

Unfortunately other owners are timid and the Secretary usually gets her way.

I’m at a loss on how to proceed. I feel as though the motions I present will be defeated. The Secretary and Strata Manager hold the power.
