Does anyone have experience with S55 reports (NSW)?
STRATA SCHEMES MANAGEMENT ACT 2015 – SECT 55 Strata managing agent to record exercise of functions (austlii.edu.au)
We have never received any S55 report from the SM. I have asked for a copy of the most recent report several times and the request is ignored. It seems that the latest possible date for meeting the requirement for annual reporting is October 2024 as that will be 12 months from the date of the legislation. That is, if my reading of the amendment dates is correct.
Or is this requirement something that the Strata Managers just ignore because it’s too difficult?
My objective is to establish a reporting schedule that ties in with the date of the AGM, so that any issues revealed in the report can be addressed at the meeting. I would appreciate any information about what owners have received or what they have done to enforce compliance (if needed) or what sort of scheduling they have been able to arrange.
