Why go to the expense of professional strata management for small blocks when it can be handled internally amongst the owners? As strata community managers, it is our job to take direction from the committee, who in turn are voted in by the owners corporation

As strata community managers, it is our job to take direction from the committee, who in turn are voted in by the owners corporation or body corporate. We are legally bound to do our job by strata legislation and regulations in each state. And the law says you must maintain your building. Strata law is complex, that’s why strata management is a profession. In short, the owners corporation may just find themselves locked into legal proceedings, costing more time and most likely more money than the building repairs required. When a rogue extra ordinary meeting gets results To the credit of strata committee member, Erwin, he went to extraordinary detailed lengths to support his cause to repair common property. His photographic evidence, reports from contractor experts and quotations were more than convincing when presented to the owners corporation with Leanne. According to Leanne, the owners were simply looking for an avenue at the EGM to have their say on the building in which they lived. After all, they are owner occupiers and are affected. They are all to be respected and owners have a right to be heard. It was then agreed to raise a special levy of $21,000 for the storm water drainage issue and $10,000 for the windows and doors replacement. The funds would be raised in three monthly instalments starting in September. I have to say thank you to STM, because without Leanne Eardley and the team, I wouldn’t have been able to have the meeting and have two motions passed. Leanne handled the meeting impeccably. Through her empathy, patience, wisdom and amazing negotiation skills we succeeded in the approvals 4 votes to 3. This is a fine example of effective strata management at play to benefit all owners and to maintain building compliance. Leanne handled the meeting impeccably.
