Reply To: OC manager approved change to facade without consulting Committee

Thanks Jimmy. It was the Strata management company (the Strata Manager) who gave approval without consultation, and did not prevent the change when I asked told them Committee approval was required, citing ‘precedent’.

The strata management company director, in response to our complaint, came back to the Committee yesterday saying the only way forward was to have a special ballot of all owners. The way they proposed to word the postal ballot was misleading and frankly infuriating. The director argues the “owners” rather than the Owners Committee would be required to agree to the facade change and thus a postal ballot is required. That is not my understanding of the legislation (Victorian).
