    Adalazie – firstly, I’m sure you’re welcome, and secondly on the subject of you having a browse through “the books” in order to obtain the contact details of other Owners, that’s specifically permitted (in NSW) underĀ Sect 108 of the Strata Schemes Management Act (1996) for a Fee of $31 for the first hour and $15 for each half-hour thereafter paid to your Owners Corporation, plus whatever amount your Strata Manager may reasonably charge you for administrative services such as photocopying and printing should you need them.

    Further to mini‘s post (#3), if you do decide to browse through the books, then you also need to check the terms of the termination clause that will be included in the Strata Management Agency Agreement that your Owners Corporation currently has with its Strata Manager, because termination and more importantly the proper hand-over of documents can be difficult if the correct procedures aren’t followed.
