We are fortunate to be owners at Horne Lake, a piece of paradise removed from the hustle-bustle and hysteria. What better place to self-isolate! Turning to regular business, 2019-2020 was a year of change in the operation of the Horne Lake Strata. We welcomed a new manager, John Pray, effective February 1, 2019 and after a period of transition, said a final good-bye to our long-time manager, Murray Hamilton, June 30, 2019. This was also my first year as president, after the privilege of having Paul Clarke as our Strata Council President for the past xxx years. Thank you again to Paul and Murray for their many years of service to our community. Wayne Becker and Heather Clarke were new faces on Council (special thank you to Heather who had only been an owner for 3 weeks when she joined Council - demonstrating you don’t need to be a long-time owner to contribute to Council). Thank you to Valerie Desharnais for her service on Council (2018-2020). Your council started its year with a Governance Workshop in May, facilitated by MNP Nanaimo, to provide a refresher on council/board conduct and overview of strata law. The Horne Lake Strata Council is a working board that gets things done through various sub-committees, the composition of which are determined at the start of each strata year. This year we held a ‘working meeting’ in October to give the committees focused time to brainstorm actions achievable in the current budget year as well as longer term needs included in the 2020-2021 budget. The various committee reports which follow detail 2019-2020 activities and accomplishments. Highlights: Wesley Bridge replacement delivered a higher quality bridge which will last for years New security fencing at the log sort installed to stop the increasing trend of illegal dumping we’ve been experiencing. Security needs aggressively reviewed; request for service issued/responses received. Unauthorized alterations and damage to common property by a small number of owners restoration completed by the owners. 3 Unauthorized activity (parking, alterations) in the riparian area putting our community at risk of losing the 15-meter setback provided by Development Permit 0120. (Without DP 0120 our setback would be 30 meters.) Emerging issue: RDN has advised our Strata Manager they will commence a review of zoning bylaw 500 in 2020 to bring clarity to the bylaw for both the public (our Community) and staff. RDN has committed to consulting directly with our community as the process unfolds. In addition to owners who serve on Council, there are several owners who contributed to our Horne Lake community in various ways in 2019-2020: servicing the fire pumps, keeping the Horne Lake Caves Road contractor accountable to their contract, cabin watch patrollers, to name a few. THANK YOU TO ALL OUR OWNER VOLUNTEERS who make our community better. I believe in contributing to my community and think every cabin owner should spend at least 1 year on council (and ideally three!) to understand the total asset attached to each lake property and why our Horne Lake Community is so unique. Where else does a lakefront cabin at an almost private lake come with its own private forest and untouched waterfront areas? Get involved in your strata! Our Council is best if we have diverse representation: all areas around the lake, new owners, long-time owners, full-time owners, seasonal owners. We also need diverse skill sets: physical maintenance, resource management, engineering (bridges, culverts, water management), legal, zoning, financial. What talent exists in your cabin family that could make our Horne Lake community even better? I look forward to new and returning faces on Council. See you on the water in 2020-2021. Susan Lucas, President Horne Lake Strata Council / Horne Lake Group Bylaws Committee – Chair Pat Brebner The bylaws committee responsibilities include: strata bylaws, enforcement and review; Strata Approvals for improvements on strata lots; Riparian Area Regulations, Regional District of Nanaimo liaison regarding zoning and development permits. Roles and Responsibilities of the Bylaws Committee Report to and take direction from the Strata Council. Develop, recommend, implement and evaluate policies for handling strata approvals and strata bylaw enforcement as required in the Strata Bylaws. Assist the Manager when required with Strata Approvals as outlined in the Strata Bylaws. 4 With the assistance of the Manager provide background to the Strata Council for their enforcement of reported Strata Bylaw contraventions. Review the annual Riparian Area Assessment Monitoring Report and make recommendations to the strata council. Review strata bylaws as necessary, and make amendment recommendations to council for their consideration and then presentation to owners at AGM.

Adam compared photos of the foreshore and riparian area taken on the 2018 tour to the current conditions and noted any changes as findings for the 2019 RAR review report. The findings were provided to the Bylaws Committee and council for their review and to provide direction. Owners are contacted when significant changes without approval are noted and asked for an explanation. In some cases remediation or planting will be required. A copy of the Report is also shared with the RDN and Ministry of Environment. Annual Riparian Area Review Requirement – Important to Remind Owners The strata and strata owners have the benefit of an Alternative Approach to the application of the full Riparian Area Regulations “RAR” which was granted by the Provincial Ministry of Environment and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. This may be the only such agreement in the Province. The Alternative Approach allows for the application of Development Permit 0120 as an alternate approach to the RAR for Horne Lake strata owners. From the agreement letter: 5 “As a condition of our agency’s endorsement of DP 0120, we require an annual monitoring report prepared by an independent Qualified Environmental Professional to describe how setback criteria are being complied with.

  • AN ANALYSIS Jing Zhi Wong* ABSTRACT
    27 (2) 2019 IIUMLJ 397 - 446 TOWARDS ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS, RULES AND RIGHTS IN STRATA MANAGEMENT: AN ANALYSIS Jing Zhi Wong* ABSTRACT The Strata Management Act 2013 (Act 757) and the Strata Titles Act 1985 (Act 318) confer broad powers on strata communities to self-manage and self-regulate through body corporates (termed Strata Management Bodies). The policy behind these legislations promotes maximum autonomy and self-regulatory powers for Strata Management Bodies to, through their internal rule-making and decision-making processes, govern themselves in ways that best suit their needs and interests. Consequently, judicial and administrative recognition of Strata Management Bodies’ autonomy has left a lacuna of matters which are not justiciable by the Courts and/or the Strata Management Tribunal. This adversely affects homeowners’ ability to access substantive justice. This article, through doctrinal analyses of key Malaysian and Western Australian cases, sheds light on a selection of strata disputes illustrating the inadequacies of the law on strata title and strata management, and the lack of enforceable standards of good management practices. The article also explores how the apathetic application of general principles of company law to strata management bodies has left a lacuna of non-justiciability. Consequently, this article argues the case for strata law reform. It advocates for law reform that promulgate standards, rules and rights of good strata management as enforceable law, rather than mere general, high-level, unenforceable and unjusticiable principles. Keywords: Strata Management, Management Corporation, Common Property, Rights, Corporations, Malaysia, Western Australia. * JD Candidate, Law School, The University of Western Australia.

  • Real Estate Council of British Columbia – Working with a Strata Management Company
    recbc.ca http://www.recbc.ca/consumer/stratamanagement.html Real Estate Council of British Columbia – Working With A Strata Management Company Working With A Strata Management Company What is the Real Estate Council of British Columbia? The Real Estate Council of British Columbia (“RECBC”) is a regulatory agency established by the provincial government. Its mandate is to protect the public interest by enf orcing the licensing and strata manager/brokerage conduct requirements of the Real Estate Services Act (“RESA”). RECBC is responsible f or licensing individuals and brokerages engaged in trading services, rental property management services and strata management services. RECBC also enf orces entry qualif ications, establishes ongoing education requirements, investigates complaints against strata managers and brokerages, and imposes disciplinary sanctions under RESA. Strata Management Services Provided through a Brokerage All services that require licensing under RESA, including the provision of strata management services, must be provided through a brokerage. In most cases, strata management services are provided by a company, partnership or sole proprietorship which is licensed as a brokerage. The brokerage engages licensed individuals to carry out the specif ic strata management activities. Such individuals are usually ref erred to as strata managers. Every brokerage must have a managing broker who is responsible f or the activities of the brokerage and who supervises the individual strata managers. Although an individual strata manager is usually assigned to provide services to the strata corporation, the strata manager is providing the services on behalf of the brokerage. During the term of the contract between the strata corporation and the brokerage, the brokerage may assign dif f erent strata managers to provide services to the strata corporation.

This Plans Reference Guide is a joint initiative between NSW LRS, the Office of the Registrar General (ORG), Surveyor General and Industry. B.
