Being on an OC is thankless, stressful, tedious. I would think there are very few souls out there who would put their hands up if they didn’t feel that there was no other choice. Imposing training obligations on them would just drive even more away. House owners have just as much capacity to muck up the lives of others and no one’s talking about new knowledge obligations on them. Even unit owners can wreak havoc on a building block. Councillors on local govt Don’t have to have specific qualifications.

This system of “identify a problem, pass a new law” has already made strata living a bureaucratic nightmare. Take one example. Child safety locks. We had our common windows protected with heavy meshing. As such we didn’t need child safety locks on those windows but the cost of Certifying no necessity was four times the cost of inserting locks.
