NAT: Federal Budget 2021/2022: Strengthening the Strata Sector
Last night, the Federal Government released an even more ambitious budget than the last, aimed at supporting Australia’s recovery across multiple sectors of the economy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and technical recession last year. Strata Community Association (SCA)
QLD Q: If a voting committee member is not present at an ordinary committee meeting and doesn't give another committee member their proxy, are there any circumstances under which they can still vote on a motion put forward at that meeting?
NSW Q: Can I resign from my positions of both Secretary and Treasurer of our owners corporation, effective immediately? What happens if no one wants to take my position?
WA Q: Is your strata manager required to notify you of common property works such as resurfacing the driveway? If so, how much notice should they give residents?
ACT Q: We are currently being affected by someone smoking inside their unit. Can provide an example of the no smoking bylaw to ban smoking in apartments?
NSW Q: My tenant caused damage to the carpark gate of the apartment building before moving out. The SM now requests that, as the landlord, I need to pay $2500 for the repair. Am I responsible?
QLD: At a recent EGM, 11 lot owners voted who were not even present at the meeting. Is there a rule or a law to prevent this or punish owners who behave in this way?
By-laws are the rules that govern an owners corporation. All owners and occupiers are required to comply with the by-laws of their strata scheme and as such, it is important that by-laws are clearly drafted and easily interpreted. Jasmin H.Singh & Allison Benson,
