Fwd: Response from Waratah Strata Management to Lot 158 on 26Apr2018 |
| Date: |
26/4/18, 7:23 pm |
Hi,
This will be the last time to take your time and I apologize for it.
I am very busy with work and this is something I am doing as
necessity to protect my investment and prevent financial and other
types of mismanagement in the complex.
Final updates from me:
a) I enclose herewith a response from Waratah Strata Management in
regards to my complaint about disabled web access.
He alleges that it was never disabled, which is not true. As an IT
expert, I know very well when something works or not.
All of a "sudden", after my complaint, the web access works again
today.
b) On 24 April 2018, it was six months since the AGM 2017 and there
was a requirement to register new By-Laws.
Today is 26 April and there are no updates about current By-Laws of
SP52948 for owners on the notice board, via email or letters.
I will visit Department of Land NSW tomorrow to find out which
By-Laws were rescinded, updated, or added. I have special interest
in how some of them are registered.
By the same token, web access to strata files shows that owners do
not have any updates of By-Laws yet (refer to attachment).
The new By-Laws must be registered with NSW Land Registry Services
within 6 months after the Special Resolution has been passed (that
already expired in SP52948). This can be done by lodging a
Consolidation/Change of By-Laws form. Tenants must also be informed
of any change in By-Laws.
In addition, the Secretary of the strata scheme must now keep a
consolidated list of By–Laws. A consolidated list of By–Laws must be
registered with NSW Land Registry Services before any new change of
by–laws can be registered.
Potential owners can get a copy of the by-laws by obtaining a
section 184 Certificate, which is required to finalize financial
matters concerning the sale of a strata property.
Landlords must give their tenants a copy of the current by-laws
within 7 days of the tenancy agreement being signed.
All current owners should receive updated version of By-Laws and
they should be published on notice boards as well. Otherwise, how
would owners know what rules to comply with?
c) Note that Waratah Strata Management (and allegedly EC members)
failed to respond to my inquiries, or record them in the Minutes of
meetings.
Because Waratah Strata management acts as Secretary of the EC (no EC
member volunteered to take that role at meeting in February 2018,
four months after the AGM), they are directly responsible for lack
of action in compliance with:
STRATA SCHEMES MANAGEMENT ACT 2015 - SECT 43
STRATA SCHEMES MANAGEMENT ACT 2015 - SECT 256
d) Waratah Strata Management vaguely alleges that they "might" have
provided all my complaints and correspondence to EC members and that
they were discussed at meetings. No record of such actions exist for
any owner in any minutes of meetings. Likewise, no private response
was provided to me.
If that is true, it seems all EC
members are fully aware of complaints and issues, and declined to
act for whatever reason (including acting upon evidence of poor
financial management, using unlicensed staff, breaking laws,
employing staff that stalk others, and much more).
Regards and best wishes in the future.

Hi,
No update of minutes of EC meetings contained replies to my wife's and my complaints and requests to provide access to strata files in emails
dated:
8 February 2018
18 February 2018
3 March 2018
I note that SP52948 did not have office bearers for four months until EC meeting in February and still does not have an official Secretary.
In regards to the below inquiry, Mr. Carbone confirmed in his phone call to me that one of his staff worked at least twice (I have evidence of
it) in night shift as security guard without license. It means we allow unlicensed staff to perform duties without owners corporation knowledge.
Even worse, it can create serious legal problems.
On a separate note, I request immediate for my web account on waratahstrata,com.au web site. It is disabled without authority or legal rights. It worked well until last month but not now.
By not having access to account Waratah Strata directly:
a) Discriminates against my family and me,
b) Prevents us from accessing strata files that are published on website,
c) Prevents us from accessing invoices for levy payments,
d) Prevents us from reviewing current balance sheet of SP52948,
e) Prevents us from reviewing current payments for our levies.
Regards

I request immediate confirmation of which maintenance staff or subcontractors have license to work as security guards in the complex:
