Can a proxy vote be cast in AGM elections for Owners Corporation committee members? If Yes:
We have just had an EGM stated as (DATE) with pre-meeting voting closing (24 HRS PRIOR).
The notice of the meeting was misleading. On one side of the header, it says:
The meeting will be held on (DATE) via electronic vote commencing at (TIME)
Next to that it says:
Should you be unable to attend the scheduled meeting, you are encouraged to complete the Proxy Form and return to the office of ______ at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting.
I own one lot in a duplex strata scheme and hold 60% of the unit entitlements.
In our scheme, for an ordinary resolution, does the majority rule apply if a poll is called at an Owners Corporation meeting? In particular, where there are strong differences of opinion as to the necessity/timing of capital works to be included in the CWFP will the majority prevail?
If yes, what recourse does the minority unit entitlement holder have, if any, to object to the resolution?
My wife and I are co-owners. My reading of the act is that if one of us is not at the meeting then the other speaks and votes for us. The management says no, I must give her written proxy each time I am not there because my name is written first in the ownership document. Is that right? we are equal owners.
I am a lot owner of a complex for tourist accommodation. We have a caretaker contract with the same company that runs an onsite accommodation business. This person, who is correctly entitled to be on the Owners Corporation Committee, habitually sends a 'how to vote' sheet for resolutions on AGM or ordinary meeting agendas. There are short comments on each motion that may be construed as advice from the OC committee but often seem personal opinion. Occasionally, the correspondence has the name of the treasurer added. Owners can simply tick the recommended boxes and return them.
I have a car space and a home unit for which I pay two sets of levies. They are classified as separate lots. I am under the impression these two lots allow me two votes at meetings when voting on motions.
When does a motion passed at a precinct association (or community association) meeting become valid?
Is it valid at the meeting once the motion is passed or is it not valid until the minutes of the meeting have been sent to all in attendance?
I own a property in Strata. Our central driveway has not been maintained and is in need of serious repair. The only option put forward at the last AGM was for repair work of around $50,000. This could be a lot more if the underground pipes get damaged during the required work.
