Eighteen months ago, the owners corporation of the small apartment building in which I live jettisoned strata managers entirely and took on management of the building ourselves. Here’s a story about how and why. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Cc @strataownersaus.bsky.social

Unit owners are wresting back control of their stratas: ‘If I don’t do it, the building will fall into the street’

Who is sponsoring the Strata Management Lobby? Where has the strata industry sponsorship $ for the 2026 conference come from? A quick look at the 2026 SCA Conference sponsorship and exhibitor list paints a clear picture about who is funding the strata industry ecosystem. (1/7)

The Victorian State government needs to ensure consumer affairs is doing its job so when fees are being recovered it is being done fairly and within the intent of the legislation. @rachaeldexter.bsky.social

Every Victorian Committee and Owner should be making sure their Strata Manager is only charging owners fees which can lawfully be charged. Did your strata manager promise you that they could just pass on administrative charges? (1/4) @rachaeldexter.bsky.social

“Predatory” and unlawful administrative fees charged by strata management companies must be stamped out and owners refunded, advocates say. @rachaeldexter.bsky.social www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

Unlawful strata fees are banned. Managers are charging them anyway
The “administration fees” tacked onto your levy notice are unlawful, according to VCAT. Strata management firms are still charging them, but owners want their money back.

Listen to the segment this morning on ABC Radio with Raf Epstein talking about the anarchy caused by VCATs bizarre and absurd ruling making Owners Corporation rules unenforcable. This was a shocker of a decision from VCAT which needs to be fixed ASAP. youtu.be/RfZiCiFMPS4?...

A ridiculous Owners Corporation decision which needs to be overturned. Government needs to act now. In yesterday's @theageaustralia.bsky.social print written by @rachaeldexter.bsky.social

Victoria - A recent VCAT ruling which determined committees need a special resolution to take breaches to VCAT is unworkable and needs urgent attention theage.com.au/politics/vic... Some key quotes from the article: (1/6) @rachaeldexter.bsky.social

‘Anarchy’: Technicality renders owners corporations effectively useless
Millions of Victorians living in strata have effectively lost the ability to enforce basic rules after a VCAT judgment.

Here is a snippet from our draft submission to Vic Govt about late fees and charges - an unethical and out of control practice that is rampant in Victoria that is currently managers just topping up their wallets with these unfair charges for being just a few days late
