Subject: | FINAL WARNING FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION: SP52948 providing illegal smoking facility behind fire door 2 in Block A on 9May2019 |
Date: | 9/5/19, 6:10 pm |
Hi,
For public records of SP52948. This is the final notice and
personal reply by the Secretary of the Executive Committee is
expected immediately.
Smoking behind Fire Door 2 in the basement (below Block A) continued unabated. The only difference is that the notorious smoker now collects most of cigarette butts and does not leave the ashtray.
However, some cigarette butts are nicely hidden in a place where short people cannot see it (this is almost becoming amusing if it were not so serious).
Waratah Strata Management failed to ensure compliance with NSW strata acts, SP52948 by-laws, and OH&S regulations in regards to smoking, by silently providing facility for smoking behind fire door 2 in Block A. By doing so, they created:
Various evidence collected just this week evidence shows that the person in question still uses the facility every day and with the quet consent of the building manager staff.
Lot 158 will not provide the evidence from this week and other
avenues will be used to resolve it.
In summary, these reports from Lot 158 about illegal smoking
were not responded to by the Secretary of the Executive Committee
as per SSMA 2015 Section 43(f):
REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION: SP52948 providing illegal smoking
facility behind fire door 2 in Block A on 20Dec2018

Hi,
It is noted that no response was received from Waratah Strata
Management at any time, whilst
continuing to
facilitate illegal smoking in the complex, direct discrimination
against Lot 158 and causing health risks, disregard for fire safety
regulations due to continuous use of fire door 2, and more.
It is also noted that Waratah Strata Management acts as strata
manger, Secretary, Treasurer, and Chairperson for SP52948 because
office bearers
do not exist since AGM 2018 (which failed to satisfy quorum, like
AGM 2017).
The evidence is compelling.
Thank you and regards,
Waratah Strata Management failed
to ensure compliance with NSW strata acts, SP52948 by-laws, and

facility for smoking behind fire door 2 in Block A.
By doing so, they created:
Patient attempts to reason with Waratah Strata Management failed. On 26 October 2016, two staff members of staff told me the following when questioned about smoking near Block A:
The following immediate actions are requested, without any delays:
a) Written response by Australia Post to Lot 158 who, and at
which SSMA 2015 legally convened EC meeting, approved smoking in
basement and behind fire door 2 in Block A?
b) Written response by Australia Post to Lot 158 why Waratah Strata Management continue to support
smoking near Block A?
c) Written response by Australia Post to Lot 158 when were owners
and tenants publicly notified about smoking facility in basement
and near fire door 2 in Block A?
d) Removal of ashtray behind fire door 2 in Block A and permanent
prevention of that area, the basement, and near the buildings and
townhouses to be used for smoking.
e) More appropriate signs about smoking to be put on all fire doors and other locations within the complex,
f) Compulsory signs about penalties for abuse of fire exits to be installed,
g) Notice about smoking problem to be documented at the next EC
meeting, including reasons for Lot 158 repetitive
complaints.
