Hi,
Repeated requests in regards to fire safety compliance that
directly affects Lot 158 have been ignored and unreported in latest
Minutes of EC meeting.
Waratah Strata Management failed to correct the incorrect
statements given to owners in Minutes of EC meeting on March 2019.
Smoke alarms are common property and have been maintained from
common funds for the last 23 years (including the years since
Waratah Strata Management allegedly won the contract with
SP52948).
There is high suspicion that these issues were not even
reported to EC members who should understand the serious
consequences of long-term non-compliance with fire safety
regulations.
Brief audit of current status of fire doors and other issues
shows the real status of "good maintenance" of the complex.
Regards,
Sent to Waratah Strata Management and maintenance staff
on 17 June 2019:
Today, agenda for another EC meeting was put on notice boards, but yet again, Lot 158 and most probably any other owner who did not provide email address, did not receive it via post. House rules (attachment "SP52948-house-rules-carefully-avoiding-to-mention-meeting-documents-being-sent-via-post-12May2019.webp"), sent to owners on 12 May 2019, implicitly state that minutes of meetings and agendas are published on notice boards (which was not always the case) and via email.
In regards to statement about smoke alarms in units - no further communication is needed. Attachments are more than sufficient evidence.
The additional visit to the complex to verify corrective actions in regards to fire safety will address this issue.
