    Assuming that all of the correct processes have been followed by the Strata Scheme I believe that you cannot avoid paying the additional Special Levy.

    Have you considered explaining your financial situation and difficulties to the Strata Manager?

    Perhaps you could come to some sort of financial arrangement about the payment of this Special Levy. This type of special arrangement is not uncommon.

    These special arrangements will need to be approved by the Committee. It would not be reasonable for the Committee to refuse to enter into such an agreement.

    Committees that I have been involved in have entered into such individual agreements to allow Owners more time to pay. 

    However, if you believe that correct processes have not been followed then you have the option to seek assistance from NSW Fair Trading.
