    Can the forum think of a reason where such a record would be useful?

    Let’s say a less-than-competent strata secretary is found out and replaced but takes all their copies of emails and letters of complaint, and evidence of dodgy deals with them …

    Or a complaint is made against an owner who says “this is the first I’ve heard of it …”

    Or an owner has asked for permission to build a small deck but ends up constructing a massive terrace with built-in hot tub …

    Unless there is a paper trail, every strata dispute becomes a case of “he said, she said”.  And unless you have a secure record, the paper trail is only as reliable as the people holding the files.
