Our building has become a noisy skate park.

A small group of children ten and under play often on skateboards and scooters in the all-concrete garage-car park area of our 42 unit block. It consists of children from two apartments here as well as their visiting friends. This is extremely noisy as it is a three-quarter-enclosed, echoey area and we feel the vibrations from their scooters and skateboards three levels up. It is also extremely dangerous with cars coming and going and blind-corner-doorways.

Of course, there are by-laws in place which they are defying.

The Strata Committee has been asked to stop them via the parents a number of times and the parents have been asked to stop them but it just goes on and on. The Strata Committee does not even acknowledge approaches and mine aren’t the only approaches to them. (Our Strata Manager is not worth mentioning.)

We have a General Meeting coming up soon and I would like to briefly raise the issue which isn’t on the agenda and think I should perhaps flag my intention with a brief email to the Strata Committee. We’re desperate here; it’s time to threaten the Committee with something but what? Tell them I’ll take them to NCAT for not enforcing by-laws? What’ll make them do what they should do?
