Evidence of requirement to have licensed staff on site from 10 January 2001.
Four current owners attended the EC meeting on 10 January 2001:
Lot 62, Upali Aranwela (ex-EC member)
Lot 151, Maureen McDonald (EC member)
Lot 160
Lot 181, Stan Pogorelsky (EC member)
Clause 6.2 of the current contract with building manager
requires them to keep shift rosters for all employees for
at least 24 months. Please provide it to Lot 158 or bring to the
AGM.
Thank you
Another night with security guard in question.
Last night (15 September 2019), the security guard, occasional staff member of building manager, worked at SP52948. His licences expired a month ago.
In addition, there is suggestion by some tenants in the complex that this same person was responsible for unpleasant treatment of fresh food delivery person several months ago. Could you please confirm or refute it with facts?
Lot 158 has absolute interest in staff working in the complex to be reliable, ethical, police-checked, and professional.
At the same time, please confirm the following:
a) Have you notified insurance company of the risks of employing unlicensed security guards (even occasionally)?
b) Have you notified Fair Trading that you knowingly overpay invoices for security guards if they are not licensed at all times?
c) Have you notified owners that they pay high price each time unlicensed security guards work in the complex?
d) Have you notified owners that if the security guards do not have licence, there is no Police check of their character and background?
Regards,

The request dated 3 March 2018 was neither responded to nor found in strata files on 31 May 2019.
Owners in the complex are of the belief that they are protected by licensed security guards at night for the last 23 years (many years ago they were even required to have valid First Aid certification).
This evening, building manager staff was seen in the office two times who did not appear to have valid Security Guard Class 1, or similar, license:

As a matter of priority, please provide the following information:
a) Are night shift staff by building manager required to have valid Security Guard Class 1 license (as it used to be the case with previous building managers and caretakers)? To be eligible for this license, one must have a National Police Certificate as well.
b) If so, provide names of SP52948 night shift staff that have valid Security Guard Class 1 or similar license?
c) If the Security Guard Class 1 (or similar) license is not required, please notify all owners in the complex so that a proper review is done why are owners paying such high costs for night security.
d) If Security Guard Class 1, or similar, license is required for night shift work in our complex, then provide details of building manager staff who works this evening in the complex (evidence has been collected on our side). If such person is not licensed (and should be), who approved UNLICENSED STAFF to work today and two times in last two years (also reported by Lot 158 but not responded to or actioned)?

Subject: Security Request: SP52948 Provide details of staff who are licensed to conduct security guard duties in night shift - 3Mar2018 Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2018 22:04:38 +1100 From: SP52948 owner To: Robert Crosbie Waratah Strata Management CC: Simon Wicks Waratah Strata Management
Hi,
For the immediate attention of the Secretary of the SP52948.
a) Building manager failed to sign the document that ensured his staff would not follow, stalk or bully my wife (or members of the family) in any form, as per her recent request.
b) Night shift is one of periods with heightened security-related risks.
We request immediate confirmation of which building manager staff or subcontractors have license to work as security guards in the complex:
Names and license details
Regards,
Lot 158
