Managed to catch this story on A Current Affair
Some points they did not raise
Surely changing the 1960s internal handrailing would trigger some sort of fire safety audit?
Wouldn’t this be classed as “major works” which would require 75% approval?
“$70,000” in the CW fund is not a lot of moneyThoughts?

Amazing how they always manage to make the strata committee out to be the problem, without any knowledge or regard for the fact that the OC is bound by very restrictive laws about what they can’t or must do.
I once contributed to a piece for Channel Seven about defects in strata building and how developers were getting away from their responsibilities. The flashy promo was “Strata committees are out of control!” Helen Wellings must have been deeply embarrassed by her incompetent, ignorant colleagues.
As a wise person once said, what the dead and the stupid have in common is that neither is aware of their condition.

I love the headline on this on the Current Affair website:
Veteran’s battle with body corporation
They clearly weren’t sure if it was “body corporate” or “owners corporation” so they went with a bit of both (sigh).
Also, how does anyone feel about an agency saying, “Mate, let’s find you a nice third-floor flat in this area in a block with a lift’? Is there even such an agency that would do that? Maybe a smart real estate agent could see an opportunity for a bit of business and some feelgood action.
