We've just had our AGM. For the first time in our Owners Corporation's history, a poll vote was called and our strata committee was chosen by way of unit entitlement, not by owners who wanted to be on the committee. I had been a serving member of our Owners Corporation since moving in 9 years ago.
Firstly, is this legal?
Secondly, can anything be done as members of our OC are very upset. Many had served on our committee for years?
I'm an owner of a complex of seven townhouses. Currently, we have five committee members. We're going to have our AGM next month with the managing agent. I've read the agenda and motions put forward by a few owners for discussion at the meetings.
Our NSW over 55s Strata is due to have its AGM next month. At this stage, none of the current committee members are willing to stand again. We have all been on the committee for many years now. It is looking highly unlikely that any other lot owners will be willing to go on the Committee.
Our "pool" of likely contenders for interest in being a committee member is shrinking as the lot owners age. We do have a good Strata Manager. What happens in this situation?
At our first Strata Committee (SC) meeting following the AGM where members of the SC were nominated and appointed to the SC, the husband of one of the SC members was given an official committee position of responsibility, Fire Services Coordinator.
Are roles related to the management of the complex usually assigned to the elected members of the SC or can the SC appoint someone they choose to key positions of responsibility for the management of the complex regardless of whether they are an elected member of the SC or not?
What are the minimum and maximum roles and their titles on an executive committee (strata committee).
As I understand it there is a:
I would like to be a member of the executive committee, however, other lot owners have already volunteered for the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer in our block. As an owner, what other roles are there in the executive committee?
In our strata of eight lots, one owner owns 5 lots, the remaining three lots are owned by three unrelated owners.
Can the majority owner nominate themselves and their adult daughter (who is not an owner) to a position on the strata committee?
