Is the strata manager also an owner? If not, I would be surprised if the manager could be chair and secretary. I have not paid attention to the details of the changes to the NSW legislation. However, even when all the EC functions are delegated to a manager, you still have to have an EC with chair, secretary and so on, and they still have the responsibility to see that their functions are being performed, even if that only means observing that the manager is doing the delegated functions.
After last AGM at the susequent meeting of the new EC no member of the new committee was willing to take on the responsibility of chair or secretary so by default these positions were handed over to our strata manager. Our strata manager is not an owner. Far from an ideal situation but that is the way it is.
In reading the new legislation it is not clear to me if he can continue to hold these positions after 30 July unless the term “building manager” includes strata managers.
