Annual General Meetings and the Victorian Strata Legislation

Annual General Meetings

Owners Corporation Act 2006 – Sect 69

  • An owners corporation must have an annual general meeting if it receives or pays out money in any financial year.
  • The time between the annual general meetings must not exceed 15 months.

That means that an owners corporation, where it receives and / or spends money, must make decisions by holding annual general meetings.

The Agenda for the Annual General Meeting

Owners Corporation Act 2006 – Sect 71

  1. The person convening an annual general meeting must prepare an Agenda setting out the matters to be dealt with at the annual general meeting.
  2. The matters to be dealt with at the annual general meeting must include:

    1. the election of a committee, if the owners corporation is to have a committee;
    2. the appointment of a manager, if applicable;
    3. the provision of details of the insurance held by the owners corporation;
    4. the provision of details of fees fixed by the owners corporation during the year;
    5. the consideration of the financial statements of the owners corporation;
    6. the consideration of the proposed annual budget of the owners corporation;
    7. the making of any delegations;
    8. the consideration of any report under various section that is listed in Section 71 of the owners corporations act;
    9. the tabling and consideration of the minutes of the previous annual general meeting.

In other words, the annual general meeting is quite prescribed and it’s important for all stakeholders to make sure that attendance is made by those who can vote at an annual general meeting. Otherwise, there will be a difficulty in operating for the upcoming or the next financial year.

      Hi Kaz

      The following response has been provided by Rochelle Castro, RC & CO Lawyers:

      In my view, the Owners Corporations Act 2006 does not prohibit annual general meetings from being held via electronic platforms (i.e. zoom or Microsoft Teams).

      That said, if the Owners Corporation decides to hold its annual general meeting through an electronic platform, guidelines should be created in respect of taking attendance and whether visibility (to count votes) should be required if a lot owner/proxy attends.
