What should an owner do if Council never replies to any correspondence and never distributes minutes of Council meetings even though our scheme bylaws require the Council to do this?
If the council continue to breach the bylaws then you can make an application for an order regarding contravention of by-laws to SAT.
That’s great if your scheme has specific bylaws regarding council communication expectations and distribution of minutes. I would ensure you have reminded your strata council of the specifications of that bylaw. Also, that if they continue to fail to meet the parameters of such, you will be forced to make an application to State Administrative Tribunal (SAT).
If the council continue to breach the bylaws then you can make an application by an owner, occupier, or mortgagee for an order regarding contravention of by-laws to SAT. You can apply via the State Administrative Tribunal website.
