Is starting an ‘alt’ committee a good option?

I won’t bore you with the details except to say we just had the AGM in our Sydney strata of 36 and we have the same lazy, do-nothing, gerrymandered, faceless Strata Committee with everything signed-over to the lazy, do-nothing strata manager.

When anything needs to be done, say an urgent sewer leak needs attention, the SC says ‘tell the SM’ and the SM says he needs SC approval before getting it seen to. Get the picture?

I think it’s time to start that ‘alternative strata committee’ I’ve seen mentioned in these pages or a website or blog to get some transparency happening.

Would ‘Stratabox’ which I’ve seen mentioned here be the way to go? Or an independent blog?

The goals are, as I say above, to get responses faster and more sensibly and achieve transparency. There’ll be resistance, as one might imagine.
