Just an update.

Unfortunately the caretaker has won out completely in this instance. 

The extension was granted, His rental pool with the assistance of the committee members that he has paid for managed to out vote the rest. Those that opposed the caretaker with their own opinions were verbally harassed and abused in emails to the point where they just gave up. The caretaker and his crew sent out pre filled in voting papers. 

The complete committee is now bought and paid for (All 7 members). These are now the very aggressive abusive sociopath types without reasoning abilities. If it opposes the caretaker it will be hammered down. 

The Standard module was voted down in lieu of the accommodation module. This is just remarkable as the voting lines the pocket of the care-taking entity and reduces the overall financial benefits to all the owners. 

The extensive campaign run by the caretaker and his committee was so vile at times people just had to leave the arena. 

The previous committee members motion to have the ten year old building with defective render and block-work, (Which are listed as defects by the Queensland Building Construction Commission & is affecting our insurance) repaired was voted down as the caretaker opposed it.

Stupid thing is the money is there in the funds to do this work without issues. One of the caretakers committee members has a friend that also quoted but was 180K more expensive, we believe that they require time to allow a moderation to the quotation to ensure the preferred suppliers get the work in this case. It’s all about kick backs with these people. 

The RAN (Remedial Action Notice) will no longer be enforced and will be removed by the caretakers committee in the next meeting. 

The management rights were put up for sale straight after the AGM now that the extension went through and the full committee is the caretakers. Once again these actions have lined the caretakers pockets only, with the actions of these people increasing the sale amount in excess of 500K. 

Even less work is being done that’s covered in the agreement than before. 

An anonymous lot owner has submitted a Work Place Health & safety form detailing unsafe work practices and the lack of a Work Place Health and Safety Management Plan that the Caretaking entity is to be in possession of.

The Body Corporate is meant to also have a copy of the Plan. (Its in the agreement as well as WH&S Legislation). This anonymous owner is now being hunted by the committee members, starting with my wife & I because we live onsite.

We are aware and always have been of the WH&S issues & received our first passive aggressive email yesterday and of course the follow up aggressive phone calls. We will keep all communications for when they are required. 

On a positive note: We may have something to take to the adjudicators with the defects not being addressed with the forceful campaign to stop them being run prior to the AGM. Unfortunately after reading through so many decisions carried out by the adjudicators there are not too many positive outcomes for the lot owners, in fact hardly any.
