Investigative Journalism and Learning Hub - Waratah Strata Management ignored female owner's plea for safety

Welcome to the blog of NSW strata investigative journalism

From: SP52948 owner
To: Robert Crosbie Waratah Strata Management
Subject: EC Meeting 7th of February [Clarification + Action Sought]
Date: Sunday, February 18, 2018 10:21 PM

I am writing this letter as a plea from one human being to another, and only ask that you and your contractors manage to perform the maintenance work with quality and with respect to all of the residents.

My husband and I are owners of Lot 158 in Strata Plan 52948.

My husband has tried on numerous occasions in the past few years to inform the staff on the state of the gardens, walls and public property in relation to their disrepair.

In these attempts I have felt harassed and intimidated in the complex I live in by Uniqueco Pty Ltd staff (four in particular).

This has become such a heightened situation that I am required (upon advice from the police) to record my movements when I am alone in the complex and feel insecure. The agenda issued on the 7th of February incorrectly indicates I video staff while they work, which is not the case.

I ask for the following:

  1. A written confirmation that this behavior from maintenance staff will cease

  2. This matter will be clarified and noted at the next EC Meeting

Kind Regards,
