RECORDING | NAT: Insurance premium increases in 2023 - Committee considerations

Tyrone Shandiman,
Strata Insurance Solutions

QLD Q: I applied for a 5 yr extension of the Caretaking Agreement. The motion was denied. The body corporate had written to all the lot owners asking them to vote no. Is this allowed?

William Marquand, Tower Body Corporate

NSW Q: In our small strata scheme I am the only owner who wishes to maintain the lawn and edges. As the lawn was very long I organised and paid $400 for mowing. Some owners refuse to reimburse me. How do I reclaim the money?

Leanne Habib, Premium Strata

WA Q: We are well outside of our AGM period. No meeting has been held since late 2020. If the strata manager and the council breach the Act in this way, what action can owners take to force compliance?
