Our strata manager attempted to do a similar thing – but when questioned what they were actually doing to ensure our scheme “complied” with the new legislation it turned out they were ‘consolidating bylaws into a word format‘.
As Secretary of our large scheme, I was able to provide such a document for free – including LPI copies of registration (57 bylaws) – so that ended that.
Perhaps you need to ask what it is your strata manager is actually doing? Then you can decide if the fee is fair and reasonable or not.
I agree that managers are treating their clients badly when they apply extra fees without proper consultation.
