QLD Q: Are there any changes to the number of committee members a body Corp can have in Queensland? Have I read somewhere that it was 7 but it had been changed to 12. Is that correct?
VIC Q: There are drainage issues in our building that may require major works. The owners corporation are requesting consent to go ahead but there is uncertainty around the scope of works and who will wear the costs. How do we proceed without knowing full costs?
WA Q: We are a group of 10 ageing townhouses with accumulating maintenance and repair issues. One owner refuses to pay sinking fund fees and 2 owners only want to make monthly payments to the fund. How do we raise enough funds so necessary repairs can be actioned now?
ACT Q: Our Strata Manager's contract is about to expire. Both owners in our duplex agree to self manage moving forward. How do we terminate the strata manager?
NSW Q: A lot owner in our small block has consistently been in arrears with levies. Although they are on a payment plan the situation is not improving. Do we have other options to recover the overdue levies?
QLD Q: Our Strata insurance covers the building, however I'm responsible to maintain my exterior walls, windows and doors. If this is the case, can I reduce my contribution to the BC insurance?

NSW Q: Our strata chair has stated we can only wash our balconies before 7 am or after 10 pm. This seems unsafe. Can the strata Committee impose such rules?
QLD Q: A lot owner has installed a ceiling fan without body corporate approval. How do we know if the work was carried out by a qualified tradesperson? Can the committee request details?
