If there's no booster fan in your unit, then technically the strata should responsible for keeping the dryer vent clean as it's outside the walls of your unit (ducting is beyond the confines of your strata lot). Check with your strata first to see if they'll take it on or if there's some kind of annual dryer duct cleaning plan. You will still be responsible for repairing the damage to the ceiling as the ceiling is in your unit.

In my previous condo, the owners were initially responsible for cleaning the dryer grill to the outside. However, the strata decided to take on the responsibility for annual dryer duct cleaning when they determined that dryer lint was a fire hazard and was considered a liability under the building's insurance policy.
