Mascot Towers resident angry over restricted access to strata meeting amid cracks in building

A resident evacuated from a Sydney apartment complex is angry over what they say is an attempt to block them from bringing supporters and legal representatives to tonight's owners' meeting. Key points: Separate meetings will be held for owners and tenants at 7:00pm tonight An email from building management to residents said entry restrictions would be strictly enforced Building management says it hasn't issued a directive banning people from providing language support One Mascot Towers apartment owner, who did not want to be identified, said she asked a colleague who is a lawyer to accompany her to the meeting, only to find out he was not welcome. On Tuesday, she received an email from building management, who wrote that the meeting was "intended for owners in Mascot Towers and a strict identification registration process will be enforced". "We have issued no directive to restrict support, mainly to assist owners who may need language assistance," Mr McGuire said. Mr Goddard said only owners could participate and vote at the meeting, but there was nothing in the strata legislation restricting others from attending.
