2011 UPDATE

Latest Update - 21 May 2011 - An EGM for Imperial Gardens with over 25% of Owners represented have voted to remove Strata.

In recent months Strata has lost the Body Corporate Secretarial rights to Dynasty Gardens and Waterford Apartments.

Why have so many owners decided to move away from Strata? Perhaps that is the question that Strata should be answering.
