If the body corporate requests the caretaker gather and maintain the owner roll, are they within their rights to refuse?
The body corporate manager is responsible for providing administrative services (including general and financial administration) to the body corporate, while the caretaker service contract focuses on delivering services other than administrative in nature.
Considering these provisions, if the body corporate requests the caretaker gather and maintain the owner roll, would this constitute a conflict with the caretaker agreement and the BCCM Act? Is the caretaker obliged to undertake administrative tasks such as maintaining the strata roll. Are they within their rights to refuse?
The management of the body corporate roll is definitely a task for a body corporate manager – not the caretaker.
To me, the management of the body corporate roll is definitely a task for a body corporate manager – not the caretaker. The roll is a body corporate record capable of being accessed like any other body corporate record (like emails, letters, minutes etc) and should be an administrative task.
