Is there other legislation or case law (tribunal outcomes) that support your statement 3. The privacy act does not apply to Owners Corporations?
The Privacy Act doesn’t apply to any corporations with a turnover of less that $3million pa. This is why strata managers say they own the strata roll. And I will turn that back on you, if I may: can you show me any instances where the Privacy Act has been enforced by a court or tribunal in relation to a strata scheme?
Here are the simple facts: All owners and residents (including tenants) must be listed on the strata roll. The strata roll is a document that is owned by the owners corporation and as such must be made available to any owner (although a fee may apply). The strata manager must make the strata roll available to the strata secretary. Email addresses must be recorded on the strata roll, if the owner has one.
