Larisa Villar Hauser and Louis Sebastian Kendall: We will not hold elections for Directors of Right to Manage Company, will not hold AGM and will not show members the contract signed with Urang

As the notes from the leaseholder forum on 6th November 2024 show, the ‘co-chairs’ have no intention of changing the dysfunctional culture of CBWRA. Indeed they would not be co-chairs without this dysfunctional… Continue reading

CBWRA’s meaningless RTM update and Xmas message
