    This sounds like either a rort by the strata managers to milk extra funds out of owners or a dubious strategy by owners to discourage other owners from undertaking major renovations.

    Either way, I would be challenging the charges by asking where in your by-laws or the management contracts does it allow owners to be charged these amounts and on what grounds? 

    And once you had that information, I would be challenging their validity at Fair Trading and/or NCAT
