      Thanks so much for your replies. This is valuable information that I will seriously take on board. I do agree that we could do better with the SM. Now that I have this feed back I have a starting point to work from. I think in my situation the new strata laws are going to force changes upon the SM and will hopefully work to my advantage. Once again thank you all for your comments.

        Thanks for all that information. I don’t know if he is a statutory appointment. Sorry to sound ignorant but I don’t know what a statutory appointment means?

        And yes the other owners are afraid of raising levies but the SM is always is not helping -always telling us- we have to keep levies low no matter what.

         I will read all this  information you have supplied me and I will certainly  do what I can and raise all these issues. At least I can verbalise all this and perhaps it might give a measure of confidence in the other owners who have put up with this for years.

        Now if I absolutely fail at succeeding with anything, and I am forced to resign due to lack of adequate insurance cover, can I put my complaint in writing and submit it to the SM requesting that all the other owners are made aware of my reasons? If so where would he place this so the OC see it?

            Yes the SM has run things for over 20 yrs.He was appointed by previous EC.  

             I don’t know when the SM agreement runs out or what type of strata agreement is in place as I cannot access any information about anything including the strata roll.

            If I can’t resolve the inadequate insurance I will resign from EC, which I find amazing in this day and age.

              Yes I agree, I think it’s an odd answer that to me doesn’t make much sense. On our insurance policy, the option is there but it is not selected.  When I wanted to include it the SM said the EC don’t make any financial decisions so it wasn’t necessary and said that nothing further will be done. 

              As a matter of interest, the first thing the SM said to the owners at the AGM that I attended, was that we could be on the EC but that we would do absolutely nothing? The other owners appeared to be accepting of this. This has left me feeling like the  SM has  too much control and is used to a totally free rein. I feel uncomfortable blindly going along and haven’t ever had this type of setup with a SM.
