I don't think it's ever too soon to let the EC and the strata managers know, politely but firmly, that you have a problem and that you are prepared to do whatever needs to be done to have this rectified.
In this instance, a call the Fair Trading (13 32 20) is definitely in order right now and I might even go so far as to organise a couple of quotes from qualified repairers.
CBF's comments about volunteers are valid but if those voluteers don't have time, aren't interested or are so defensive that they won't listen, then they shouldn't be on the committee. They are supposed to be bridges with owners, not roadblocks.
You shouldn't have to run a campaign to get on the EC at the next AGN – whenever that is – to get vital repairs done to common property that the OC is legally obliged to carry out.
I think there's a point where you have to say to the EC and the strata managers, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, but either way, you must, by law, arrange for the roof to be fixed.
