(1) Must a strata mgr or committee inform ALL owners of a NCAT dispute for which a hearing date has been set?;
Yes. Read Section 228 Notice of Applications to Tribunal (2) of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW). I copy / pasted the paragraph here:
(2) On receipt of an application, an owners corporation given notice of an application for an order must—
(a) immediately cause a copy of the application to be prominently displayed on any notice board required to be maintained by or under the by-laws on some part of the common property, and
(b) so display the copy for the period specified in the notice for the making of submissions, and
(c) immediately serve a copy of the application on each owner of a lot in the strata scheme except an owner who is a named party to the application.
(2) Must a strata mgr or committee mention in any submission to the STRATA HUB my NCAT application against the OC? Must the STRATA HUB be informed about an owner’s complaint to NSW Fair Trading against the strata mgr? Or can these matters be concealed from the STRATA HUB?
No. No. Yes. I logged into my Strata Hub account. I see no place for NCAT actions to be recorded. Here is a link to NSW Government page showing what kind of information is accessible to owners: Read under “who will have access to this information”.
Strata Hub is new. They added some new things in the past year. I think it would be a great idea to have NCAT applications (past and present) documented. However, there could be a privacy issue.
