Despite my urging, the strata management company won't provide a second quote for a gutter repair after the first contractor didn't show up. The owners corporation approved the repair three months ago. Should I push for dispute resolution?

Apply for mediation through NSW Fair Trading.

You can apply for mediation through NSW Fair Trading. The application is free, however, the owners corporation is free to decline mediation. Once you attempt mediation, you can take the matter further through NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal and seek Orders for your repairs to be carried out expeditiously.
