Sometimes you just have to wonder why strata owners make life more difficult for themselves, twisting themselves into pretzels to find ways of doing stuff that the law clearly does not intend.
Take the strata committee where a member has voluntarily suspended themselves over some undeclared allegation of impropriety. Now this member wants to appear on the committee as a proxy.
This is even more complicated than it seems, when you drill down into the regs, even though the ultimate answer would have to be pretty clear. That’s HERE.
Meanwhile time is running out in the block where an owner has undertaken unapproved (and possibly illegal) renovations. He’s put his flat on the market and the AGM is just around the corner. Feel the panic HERE.

- Obeying by-laws seems to be optional for committee members and their mates. That’s HERE.
- Can you pay money from different funds and then not pay it back? That’s HERE.
- What happens to AGM decisions when we run out of money to action them? That’s HERE.
- Do we have to fill strata committee vacancies – secretary is deliberately delaying decision? That’s HERE.
- Who’s responsible for distributing the strata minutes – the strata manager or the secretary? That’s HERE.
- Approval of minutes delayed to avoid taking agreed action. That’s HERE.
