From the Commisioner's office:
In the next few days owners can expect an invitation to comment about the irregularities in last year's AGM.
This is a golden opportunity to give your opinion to the Body Corporate and Community Management (BCCM) Officials about what is going on here.
Were owners concerns ignored at the AGM and are they being ignored at other times?
Are there conflicts of interest at play?
Why don't owners get a monetary return from property owned by them?
Was the committee election conducted fairly and according to the regulations?
Take up the invitation from BCCM and have your say.
After rain the drain still holds water which mosquitoes can breed in.
This was reported to the caretaker, via Body Corporate Management, on 17 January 2023.
Good News The caretaker advises that PDM Pest Control will be spraying for mosquitoes on 9 February 2023. Thank you Caretaker.

Safety Issues.
Allowing breeding grounds for mosquitoes are one thing but not checking pool gates is another.
Swimming Pool Gates
Our swimming pool has 7 gates with childproof latches. Eight times in the last 12 months I have personally found defective pool gates. Each time I have found one means, tying the gates up first and notifying the caretaker's staff. Realising how important this is, the staff have responded quickly each time.
Now, I don't go to the pool each day and I don't check each of the 7 gates each day but who does?
Whose responsibility is this? What could have happened if those defective gates were not found in time?

What is the benefit of having some resident owners?
Do you remeber the damage at the central facility entrance. It was like that for years. Despite being asked by committee to "fix it" in 2019 the caretaker did not do anything about it. A few months later the caretaker was asked again.
It was fixed, in the end, by the resident committee member. Cost? $29 for tile glue and tile grout saving the body corporate hundreds of dollars and making the resort entrance respectable again.
The replacement paving programme stalled in 2018.
That didn't stop resident co-owners paying for new pavers by themselves saving the body corporate $4,774.
