Removal and Replacement

Some of it is approved lot property, al of it is attached to the slab. Approved in minutes by committee with no by law attached to it. The rest we say is common property  but they say it is not on Strata Plan, the thing is there is a lot of stuff not on the strata plan.

The argument is the membrane has failed and is common property but they are saying the stuff on top of the membrane is lot property. All of it is  approved  in any case. They allowed it to be put on the membrane.

We also feel we have had to pay  a great price to get them to do what they should have done for free, that is maintain the common property. So we are not inclined to put our hands in our pockets now. Thanks for response Flame Tree

Thanks Jimmy

Will do , one of the reasons I am still posting is I want people to see what is happening our here in Strata land. Some committees are wonderful and have the best intentions for their building but some are there for all the wrong reasons. They answer to no one,  there is no accountability. Where else in the world do you get your hands on 600,000 dollars of other people’s money and have no assurances,  no accountability, no transparency, no qualifications, all power and no responsibility.

Our water ingress has now gone through three floors from the roof over six years of conflict.  These guys are arguing over a timber deck and some tiles and avoiding fixing the membrane. What is dismaying is that it will be the individual owner who must enforce the strata laws again. Going back to NCAT, oh yes, I yearn for those days when I get a member in front of me who thinks individual owners are the rogues and the KTMs.  To be fair, my last member  was wonderful and tried so hard to help me. Fingers crossed we get another one of those. I have been in the tribunal 5 times  just to get my roof fixed. It shouldn’t be this hard. Orders should be clearly defined.  Our orders were  general and their lawyers have jumped on it. An honourable committee with the building’s best interests in mind would not have looked for the way around the orders.  The loopholes in the law are huge i.e. no consequences for not complying to orders from the appeal panel …Really? We have not been able to enjoy our roof terrace for four years.  Let alone the mould and five wet rooms. We were hoping to avoid NCAT but it is not possible with this committee.  Sorry I sound a little whiney will celebrate with you all when my roof is fixed and restored.

Thanks one and all will keep you posted Happiest of Easters to you all !
