What can the strata committee do to gain rightful access to our strata’s physical and virtual data? – John, NSW

Q: Our strata committee secretary has resigned and now refuses to pass our strata records to their newly appointed replacement. The current committee must have access to all official correspondence and obligatory strata documentation.

What can the strata committee do to gain rightful access to our strata’s physical and virtual data under these circumstances?

A: The records do not belong to the secretary, they belong to the owners corporation and form part of their records.

You may wish to take the matter to NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) if the matter cannot be resolved.
