ACT: I’m looking to purchase a townhouse. The strata has only one other house, with no common property. There are no strata fees, and we only share the cost of building insurance and water usage. Are there any mandatory things we need to do, e.g. an AGM, a maintenance plan, a fire safety check?

Nina Cannell, Signature Strata

NSW Q: Two people voted against a motion whilst the rest of the ten voted for it. The AGM minutes reported ten for and only one against. All votes were in before the deadline. What actions can be taken?
