Penalties are only possible when there is a little subparagrapgh under the relevant section of legislation stating “Maximum penalty – x penalty units” There is nothing section 228 – Notice of Applications to Tribunal.
Just adding my voice as an owner and applicant in a strata scheme whereby a copy of an application (and orders) is never provided “immediately”. It eventually gets distributed but it can take a couple of months and even more. NCAT isn’t interested seeing it as a minor procedural matter unrelated to the “real issues in dispute”….whatever that really means.
