Residents in our owners corporation(OC) regularly breach by-laws by dumping rubbish, incorrectly disposing of rubbish, improperly using parking areas, and leaving shopping trolleys at the front and rear of our complex. The OC currently pays for damage and clean-up caused by these breaches.
Our strata company is concerned about the condition of the decking around our pool. Quotes to repair the decking were rejected at an AGM, and discussions with the builder regarding rectification are still ongoing.
While decisions about the next steps are in progress, can the strata company begin to raise funds? Our strata company clearly states on the levy notice that the additional amount is for pool decking.
I live in a strata block of around 50 apartments. A fault in the main water riser valve caused water damage to the floating floors in two apartments. The building insurance does not cover floating floors.
In Western Australia, can a strata company archive all records and documents digitally, or are there specific records that must still be kept in hard copy?
If a committee member becomes unfinancial after the AGM, can they still vote on motions at strata committee meetings, or does being unfinancial affect their eligibility to vote?

I am retired, and as the only active owner, the strata manager expects me to be the contact person when contractors attend the site. I find this stressful, and I have tried to step back, but the strata manager says no one else is available. Contractors often want someone to open gates or provide access codes.
