Question: Does the requirement for owners corporations in NSW to store electronic records apply to meetings of the strata committee where a strata manager is not present? Is it acceptable to email minutes to the strata management agent for their record keeping?
Answer: The strata manager will need to make sure that the record is put in electronic form and inserted into the scheme’s records.
Electronic records will be required to be kept of any strata committee or general meeting (and the notices of these meetings). If your strata manager has the delegated power of the secretary (to keep the records), they should receive a copy of the agenda and the minutes. Whether you email it to them, send it via a link or send it via post, the strata manager will need to make sure that the record is put in electronic form and inserted into the scheme’s records.
