    I had forgotten one very important step which may, in fact, hold the answer to this:  Mediation.

    Not only do you need mediation before you can take most issues to NCAT, it could provide you with the opportunity to get everything out on the table and reach an amicable solution.

    In the first instance, ask the secretary to arrange a mediation with an independent mediator (preferably one who understands strata law).

    Failing that, apply to Fair Trading for an official mediation.

    Even if that fails, you have ticked the necessary box to allow you to proceed to NCAT.
