    thanks for your reply. My main concern is what is actually on the strata roll itself. are people familiar with all contact details on the roll, like some I’ve viewed. In answer to the privacy issue and open disclosure of all owners details I mentioned FT and got the “ call them every day its a different story” and “ I prefer to do what the company solicitor tells me” so yet again its a brick wall . I feel that the strata act in itself is very broad and subject to interpretation and that feeds a certain group so ordinary owners who just want a simple life without legal costs struggle.

    You’re right. “an address for service of notices” is specified in the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW).

    Your strata manager is being arrogant. There is no need to refer to a solicitor or Fair Trading. From what you’ve told us, the strata manager is counting on your ignorance. I suggest you show them Section 178, paragraph (1) of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) and offer to arrange mediation at Fair Trading if they don’t agree.

    To answer your question of “what should be on the strata roll?” you already found it in Section 178, paragraph (1) of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW).

    My brother is a solicitor. He told me to look up everything I need to know about strata in the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW). He also advised me not to trust what is written on web sites about strata. Always refer to the Act. If the dispute goes to NCAT, the NCAT member will only refer to the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW). You can’t use the Fair Trading web site as evidence.
