    I think your personal idea is worth a go … i also think other options are also worth ago.

    We all seem to agree that change is in order.  The new “super tribunal” idea is about potentially incorporating CTTT into something even bigger.

    Most submissions either opposed the idea or thought the idea would only work under certain circumstances; those circumstances were generally about having specialists deal with specific areas.

    I recommend you have a look at the SCA submission. It was far from what i expected from the peak management group but it did recommend that the strata division be specialized.

    What i found interesting about the specializing strata idea is that some of the current CTTT member are from the former strata schemes board and these are some of the Adjudicators/Members i have seen make terrible statements and rulings.

    I agree that in some (possibly many) cases a strata savvy EC member/good strata manager & strata lawyer would be much better at dealing with strata matters.

    One thing i will say is that i know of some SP's who have entrenched EC members who have served (self-served some might say) for many years and these people have a very poor knowledge of the Strata Act (SSMA).
    I am also well aware of some pretty ordinary strata managers; i have no idea how these people get or keep their licenses.

    Keep skinning the proverbial strata cat Jimmy T
