Question: What is the ideal number of members for an owners corporation committee, and why?
Answer: Five is the magic number.
The maximum number of committee members under the ACT is nine. I recommend an odd number because it avoids a tie vote or a deadlock. Generally, I think five is a good number, five to seven. If you have a higher number than that, it’s hard to get a quorum and hard to get a majority decision because you’re waiting on more decisions.
However, if there’s a lot to do, you want more hands on deck sharing the load, but ideally, five is the magic number.
