    There is obviously something dodgy going on here – it could be incompetence or it could be that someone with a majority of votes is trying to force owners out so that they can gain control of the building and sell it to a developer. Stacking up legitimate charges for dubious reasons is one way of doing that.

    You have a number of options. 

    1. If you think this is urgent, apply directly to NCAT under Section 231 for an Interim Order requiring the OC to use existing financed for these capital projects.

    2. If it’s not so urgent, apply for mediation with a view to pursuing the OC under section 232, seeking orders to resolve a dispute.

    3. If you think there are individuals on the strata committee trying to push you out so they can sell the block to a developer, go directly to NCAT for the statutory appointment of a strata manager to take over the running of the building.
