How do you get the contact details of all committee members?

Hi There,

I’m new to this stuff… I recently bought into a block of 12 strata units in a Sydney suburb. They are old and run down. I contacted the strata manager to discover all the contact details of the executive committee and I was told that they would send an email to them asking them to contact me. Ok… so I never heard anything back. Now I’m about to do a title search of each unit to discover the owner (or via local council) and contact each owner (after finding them on facebook, in the phone book or what ever), and ask them if they are on the committee and by a process of elimination work out the contact details of each member of the exec committee etc.

The strata manager actually has given me a login so I guess I can go back through meetings and minutes etc and discover some of the names  – but it doesn’t give me the contact details. All I want is the email addresses so I can write to them.

My question is – is this normal? – why is it such a hassle for a new owner who is not an occupier to get simple information about the exce committee?

Regards,

R
