Hi FlatChatter community
I’m treasurer for a 15-unit NSW Strata Plan. A new owner has moved in and found magnesite under the wooden floor. She’s insisting that the Strata plan pays for its removal. Quotes over $20,000 have been obtained. Are we required to remove all the magnesite or just the areas that pose a risk? If there’s no evidence that the magnesite has swollen due to water penetration, therefore threatening to cause concrete spalling, does that sound magnesite need to be removed? I should add that when we’ve encountered this problem in another unit, we simply paid for the perished/broken magnesite to be removed and repaired the damaged concrete/reinforcement steel below.
What are our legal obligations in 2021?
Thanks in advance.

If the magnesite is sound, as you’ve noted, there is no need for it to be replaced or repaired.
What is the lot owner proposing to use to replace the soundproofing?
