Two things:
Firstly, under section 232 (1, e) and (2) (below) you can take the owners corp to NCAT for failure to fulfill its statutory duties once you have asked them to do so.

There really is no excuse for not pushing ahead with this – your committee needs a rocket under it and Section 232 is the one that lights the blue touch paper.
