Re: New Charges in Cash Managemnent Account

Good Evening Whale,

Many thanks for your reply,

Re secure records destruction; we are a 4 townhouse strata, with minimum contact with the strata manager company. The majority of maintenance and repairs when needed are arranged by the owners and the invoices are sent to the strata manager for payment. Thus your amazement at the “paperwork” generated is shared by me. In fact I believe it is just supplementary income generation.

Re window safety compliance check; this is just another supplementary income generation activity. Our strata plan is in Sydney and I assume that the March 2018 timeline is applicable here. Our AGM is to be held this week and I intend to raise this matter at the meeting.

I have reviewed our Strata Management Agency Agreement, it has been in force for quite a long time – Dec 2004 – and there is not much detail. Would it be appropriate to ask for an updated contract listing “current” fees and charges. I am, unfortunately, the only owner who seems to least bit interested in the costs and operation of the strata plan.

I have suggested to the other owners that we consider a semi self managed plan, at this time with no success.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Dudley
