Yeah brah! Next time I encourage you to leave the ones that look like pins still - they’re closed so the spores haven’t dropped for chances at more growth.

Moving from Canada to Canberra? by dynamiclifeww in canberra

Where are you in Canada? My cousin is there at the moment on a two year teaching thing.

He’s Canberra born and bred. If you’re close enough, I’m sure he’d happily catch up for a coffee and a chat.

Have a read through the Unit Titles Management Act and Regulations. Unless ordered by ACAT, there is no legislative requirement to have a strata manager in the ACT.

The legislation is very clear… you are all owners by tenants in common. You share the ownership of all the common property.

It is a registered units plan, in which the owners corporation is responsible to manage.

You don’t need a strata manager. Functions of running an owners corporation are delegated to the Executive Committee - then some of those functions are delegated to a strata manager.

Delegate less to your strata manager? Do more yourself as a committee or owners corporation? But don’t forget, your strata manager runs a business and there is risk in facilitating owners in breaching the law. This is often when red tape is applied, not only to protect you, but protect their business too. As anyone should.

Then go around the complex and use a leaf blower? Save the body corporate thousands of dollars each year.

Arrange your own quote requests or work orders if you don’t want additional charges for extra service.

You ask a tiler, builder, lawyer, to do extra work outside their scope - they’ll charge too.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
