Alinka – one last word from me on this subject.
With regard to your Strata Manager’s fees, your Owners Corporation (O/C) is entitled to demand a break-down of the fee components in terms of the hourly-rates and/or prescribed amounts ($) for each as applicable, and to compare those to the amounts declared in advance by the Strata Manager at Schedule B of their Agency Agreement.
As for the provisions of Sect 138 (2) of the SCMA, if your O/C Secretary or the Strata Manager under delegation had, within 2 months and behaving reasonably, advised the Owners of a decision to consider their Motions at the upcoming AGM, and not by specially convening an EGM, then the provisions of Sect 138 would have been satisfied and those Owners wouldn’t have been able to seek Orders at the NCAT.
It’s only a do nothing / say nothing response by an O/C that gives rise to redress by affected Owners at the NCAT; and so it should!
That’s all from me!
