Investigative Journalism and Learning Hub - Waratah Strata Management ignored complaint about their forging dates of published insurance policy for SP52948 and hiding details of excesses on 29 October 2019

Welcome to the blog of NSW strata investigative journalism

From: SP52948 owner
To: Robert Crosbie Waratah Strata Management
Subject: REPEATED HIGH PRIORITY CONFIDENTIAL REQUEST: Immediate access to eight SP52948 files
Date: 29/10/19, 6:39 pm

This is another example of "professionalism" by Waratah Strata Management.

a) For the last seven years, owners are prevented from having information that insurance does not cover number of faults in the complex (attachment "SP52948-insurance-excesses-hidden-from-owners-since-2012.webp").

One of the major exclusions due to neglect and ongoing repairs without warranties, is:

$10,000.00 excess for water damage/burst pipe/exploratory cost for each and every claim.

Extract from agenda for AGM 2018 and AGM 2019 sent to owners hid information about insurance excesses.

I tried to warn Waratah Strata Management to inform owners (attachment "REQUEST FOR PROPER AND OVERDUE MAINTENANCE Roof membrane and water leaks in Block A in Jan2019.pdf" is one example), but they refused to amend the Minutes of AGM 2018 or update Motions and Minutes for AGM 2019.


b) Screenshot taken from Waratah Strata Management website on 12 October 2019 shows that only one file related to insurance policy was published (attachment "SP52948-waratahstrata.com.au-website-Documents-folder-clearly-missing-insurance-policy-dated-9Oct2019-part-1-screenshot-taken-on-12Oct2019.PNG").

There was no insurance policy document dated 9 October 2019.


c) Screenshot taken from Waratah Strata Management website on 17 October 2019 shows that two files related to insurance policy were published (attachment "SP52948-full-insurance-policy-published-on-waratahstrata-website-backdated-to-forged-date-9Oct2019-but-made-available-only-on-17Oct2019.pdf").

There full insurance policy document was backdated to 9 October 2019 (attachment "SP52948-waratahstrata-website-Documents-folder-sudden-appearance-of-two-files-related-to-insurance-policy-with-one-file-backdated-with-forged-date-9Oct2019-screenshot-taken-on-17Oct2019.PNG").

The full insurance policy document could not have been published on 9 October 2019, as screenshott from their website date 12 October 2019 proves.


d) At AGM on 17 October 2019, I asked Waratah Strata Management to explain it and put it in the Minutes of the meeting, which Mr. Robert Crosbie declined.
