Brief, the response today is: Anywhere between $5,000-$7,000 to process a request to undertake bathroom renovations plus a $5,000 bond to be returned when and if the Strata Manager is satisfied that the work has been done properly. And yet a commercial lot in our scheme can undertake a full, major fit out including changes to common property twice in two years, all ok’d with a nod from the Executive Committee at an EC Meeting.
This is just the latest example of Owners who have called for compliance with Legislation being held to ransom.
And the NCAT won’t do a thing.
The NCAT Adjudicator six weeks ago manages to list the Applicant and 23 respondents in the official NCAT document (available online – yes?) except for one – a State MP/the now former EC Chairman. But I guess everyone can make a mistake, NCAT Adjudicators included…
Thank goodness this forum gives one somewhere to scream, even if the scream is silent.
