Is a strata manager restricted by the Privacy Act from disclosing lot owner details to the Executive Committee due to the Privacy Act?
Table of Contents:
Question: Can we release the full corporate register, including personal details in addition to names and addresses, to the Executive Committee?
Our Chair has requested we release the corporate register to the Executive Committee. I thought the Privacy Act and APP did not allow us to release personal details without the consent of the individual?
I understand the sect 119 requirements (in the ACT) but the query is more about the EC wanting personal details other than name and address as stipulated in our UTMA.
Can we release the full corporate register to the EC?
Answer: There is clear ACAT authority that the executive committee is entitled to view the corporate register. See especially Executive Committee Units Plan No 930 v Capital Strata [2012] ACAT 46.
