question
I have recently been issued an invoice by strata for not providing my car registration details to them. The amount is $165 and is pre-determined in the by-laws. Is this consistent with the Strata Scheme Management ACT 2015?
answer
If this is properly characterised as a fine, the charge would likely be invalid.
As we have not seen a copy of the by-law, it is unclear what basis the owners corporation has purported to charge you. NCAT has upheld genuine on-charging to owners for administration costs, e.g. pet application fees. However, if this is properly characterised as a fine, the charge would likely be invalid as NCAT has exclusive jurisdiction to impose fines/penalties.
