I agree with scotlandx, you need toughen up and not worry too much about those who say they didn’t receive the notice by post. Your role is to post the notice, nothing more. You, like the rest of us, aren’t in control of Australia Post and delivery times.
What I always suggest to schemes is to go beyond the requirements of the Interpretations Act and give at least 7 working days for postage to eliminate any arguments from owners who believe insufficient notice was given. Its really not that difficult to give that extra 3 working days.
I am not sure whether a by-law which allowed an OC to charge those who don’t have email addresses for services of notices would stand up in a Tribunal or Court. It could be argued by those affected that it is harsh, unconscionable or oppressive as many elderly and not so elderly people do not have computers or email addresses.
