And just to add another complication, if it’s the Owners Corp that’s making a profit, that has a tax implication that may not have been addressed.
I would be putting a motion to the strata committee that the whole question of the provision of gas be examined, including:
- who owns the tank?
- who profits from the re-sale of gas?
- is this legal
- is there a tax implication?
- what are the options for all owners and tenants to have their gas bills reduced?
If the strata committee refuses to do this, tell them you will be seeking orders at NCAT compelling them to do so.
It may be that the facilities manager has a cost relationship with the strata committee and you are subsidising them (and everyone else in the block). Definitely worth checking out.
