I think the reason it wasn’t made law was because there are so many variables between strata buildings. The good thing about the Memorandum is that you can go through the document and remove or amend items to suit the prevailing conditions in your building before you establish the by-law.
And even if you don’t, as we’ve said, it’s a document that strata managers and CTTT adjudicators can use as a benchmark when they are scratching their collective heads over the latest dispute.
As for it being a cash-grab – I reckon this document is going to save so much time and money at the CTTT it would be worth them paying strata plans to adopt it (or an amended version).
Actually, that’s a brilliant idea. I’ll bring it up the next time I’m invited round to Fair Trading for tea.
