Hi,

In accordance with Motion 19 at Annual General Meeting 2018 (strata affairs directly affecting Lot 158), a request is issued to explain why should Lot 158 levies be used for payments of roof repairs and painting in BBQ area yet again.

Various work was done in 2011, 2012, and 2015 around and in BBQ area.

Just last year, $3,710.00 (incl. GST) was approved and allegedly spent for replacing BBQ roof area at EC meeting on 20 April 2017.

In addition, the alleged expenses in 2017 for painting project in SP52948 in amount of $646,200.00 plus GST (totalling $710.820.000) included undefined details for various structures in amount of $66,000.00 (including GST). The structures allegedly included garden beds, louvres in the basement, swimming pool area, and similar.

As seen in November and December 2018 images, the BBQ area is very looking very ordinary and new painting and wall repairs are required again.

By all accounts, this should be done under warranty (which to this day) neither Waratah Strata Management nor maintenance staff can confirm.

Why should Lot 158 levies be used for repeated repairs of BBQ area?

Regards,
