I recently had the same problem with the bullying boss of a big strata firm that was refusing to hand over the strata roll to the company secretary because, basically, it wasn’t their policy and there were issues of “privacy”.
We got the strata roll and the email addresses.
Ok, these are all the bits of info you need:
- The owners corporation must maintain a strata roll (Section 178) and it must have the email addresses of owners in it.
- Any owner is entitled to view the records of the strata scheme which specifically includes the strata roll under the provisions of Section 182. Failure to allow that to happen can incur a fine of $550 in the first instance.
- The privacy act does not apply to owners corporations.
- The tribunal can order the strata manager or secretary to make documents available for inspection under section 188 .
That should be all the ammunition you require.
