From day one it was obvious to me that I was surrounded by owner/residents who did not have a clue nor wanted to know more than the basics of how a strata plan is run and governed!
That is good because where i come from it is a case of owner/residents who do not have a clue nor want to know.
People in general face two problems with strata; they don’t have the time to learn it and for many they don’t have the skill set to understand it.
The overseeing authority, currently branded NCAT, have the delusional view:
“The legislation has always envisaged that generally, strata schemes would be managed by ordinary lot owners for their own benefit.”

Ordinary people with no idea running the show is what the plan was and it has been well executed because that is where we often are at with strata living.
