We purchased moved into our townhouse in 2022, and except for me making a couple of calls to ask about fees and things, we haven't heard anything from the owners corporation about meetings, plans or anything else. I suspect it's the same for other townhouses.
I don't know if our block just has a rubbish owners corporation manager, but does anyone know if they are obligated to communicate anything to the property owners?
Our old OC manager was an absolute stickler for the rules, to the point where I stopped going to the AGMs in person because it would just drag on for hours. His replacement is a bit more casual but still does things by the book. To answer your question, they should absolutely be communicating with you and the rest of the OC.
