- In today’s “Ask Amanda Now” session, Amanda shared her answers to a couple of strata questions that didn’t make it to the ABC News Live Blog, AND took a close look at Nena's question: should my strata building cancel its GST registration?
Peaceful enjoyment. My example: kids cars with bells and radios causing excessive noise on common property driveway most evenings. Wife of kids complained to NCAT, expecting me to provide evidence. I ignored the complaint because I did not initiate the noise complaint. Result: The complainant withdrew the complaint 24 hours prior to hearing as I had not complained. This woman was a University admin worker who thought she knew the law. After this incident my wife and I sold our strata property and bought a Torrens Title property. Best decision ever.
P.S. strata manager and strata committee were no help and sided with the complainant. Takeaway: strata is not a great situation for 1. Children or 2. Older adults who want peace and quiet.
Strata is not obligated to install cctv. Just like neighbours/ owners can’t insist on a 6 foot dividing fence when the dividing fences act only requires a 5 foot fence. The same thought process relates to alarm systems. The owner’s corporation is not obliged to install alarm systems but can ask the owners. Common sense.
