For a start, an invoice of that type does not form part of your levies. So, the advice from the strata manager that failure to pay will mean you are unfinancial and unable to vote is incorrect.
If you want to deny liability, put your position in writing and make it clear that you will take it further. When you pay your levies make it clear that it is for the levies and not the disputed amount, because they may set off $312 against the repairs so you are short $312 on the levies.
I don’t think they can charge you interest on the amount, they certainly can’t under the Act because it isn’t a levy.
As a general observation, just because someone sends you a bill for something, it doesn’t mean you owe them the money!
