3) I searched the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 No 138 and can find no reference to Notice to Comply, so where does the Strata get the authority to issue a Notice to Comply.
This is what it says in the Act – the ‘notice’ referred to is a Notice To Comply
45 How can an owners corporation enforce the by-laws?
(1) An owners corporation may serve a notice
, in a form approved by the Director-General, on the owner or occupier of a lot requiring the owner or occupier to comply with a specified by-law if the owners corporation is satisfied that the owner or occupier has contravened that by-law.
(2) A 
notice cannot be issued under this section unless a resolution approving the issue of the notice, or the issue of notices for the type of contravention concerned, has first been passed by the owners corporation or the executive committee of the owners corporation.
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to the issue of a notice under this section by a strata managing agent if that function has been delegated to the strata managing agent in accordance with this Act.
Note. The Tribunal may impose a pecuniary penalty on a person for failing to comply with a notice under this section (see section 203).
