Question: I wish to make contact with other owners of our complex. As a lot owner am I entitled to ask for a copy of the owners register from the manager and contact them or would I be contravening any privacy laws.
Answer: The owners corporation must make these records available to you, but may charge a reasonable fee for a copy of any record.
As an owner within an owners corporation you are entitled to inspect the records of the owners corporation pursuant to section 146 of the Owners Corporation Act 2006. The owners corporation must make these records available to you, but may charge a reasonable fee for a copy of any record. This fee must not exceed the prescribed maximum fee.

Question: Can I do a private letterbox drop in our tower building? I’m trying to get a Facebook Group going to create Community.
Are there are rules about doing a private letterbox drop in my building? In our high-density tower block, I dropped off flyers to start a Facebook group as I wanted to create some community. The Building Manager said I can’t do this. Is this correct?
Answer: The Building Manager, and indeed the management company, should be offering support, not be a hindrance.
Vibrant and connected communities – a priority above all else!
What a wonderful thought, and what great lengths you’re going to for your community!
Any initial steps a volunteer owner can take to activate the community and strive to connect residents, in particular in these times of high incidents of loneliness & lockdowns, should be welcomed and supported with open arms.
The Building Manager, and indeed the management company, should be offering support, not be a hindrance. Our team has had wonderful success at joining, supporting, actively participating and engaging with owners on our clients’ private community Facebook groups.
Post away I say, and well done for taking the initiative to empower your community to stay connected with each other.
