Tribunal ruling from Amanda Farmer’s podcast linked here!

You might want to follow a link to Amanda Farmer’s audio summary of the case she discussed in her live podcast last week. It’s an interesting case where the committee in a resort scheme pushed through a special levy and a by-law that would have benefitted a minority of strata owners to the detriment of the majority.  You can find out what happened at NCAT, both in audio and print, HERE.

It’s based on a NSW Tribunal decision providing clarity on a range of issues that plague many strata property owners across the country, including:

• committee members making decisions outside of formal meetings,
• conflicted committee members failing to remove themselves from decision- making,
• strata managers (and lawyers) communicating with one committee member only, keeping others in the dark,
• special levies being raised without a proper explanation of the expense they are intended to meet,
