Our strata manager has sent out a notice of a Special General Meeting with a motion to raise a special levy of $200,000 for the sinking fund. As a member of the strata committee, I know this motion has not been discussed at any strata committee meeting and there are no emails except for the Special General Meeting notice.

At the previous meeting, there was a general discussion about a possible need to raise more money. We decided that we would discuss the matter further at the following committee meeting, yet this has not occurred.

Can strata levies be revised partway through the year, before the next AGM and the next year's budget? If so, can they be revised with retrospective application?

Obviously, it's standard to set levies once a year and then raise special levies as required. This is not about special levies. We are interested in revising (increasing) standard levies for the current period, hopefully with retrospective application (that is, for the entire current period, from the beginning).
