I was going through past records of our strata and speaking to other owners and it appears that we do not have a contract with our current strata manager, so no-one seems to know on what basis he acts. Our strata manager does the bare minimum and tends to discourage us making any decisions which may require him to do extra work. I would like to change managers.
Is this a common thing?

Clive2000,
There must be a contract (agency agreement) otherwise as per the property stock and business agents act, the strata manager can not be acting for your OC.I would suggest, if possible conducting a search of the strata records contained in the office of the strata manager, or if you are on the ec, just ask the strata manager for a copy of the current agreement.
Mostly a strata manager will be happy to assist where and how they can, but typically, based on average management fees, are managing a significant number of properties with a whole bundle of issues occurring at any given point of time, so can be quite time poor. It’s a matter of making sure that the SM finds your strata scheme as important or more then the next
