Our AGM was held about 5 months ago. I did not attend. A motion was passed for a special levy. I recently requested a copy of the minutes and have been advised that the Strata Manager has not produced them. Are there timeframes for the distribution of AGM minutes?

The legislation requirements differ depending on the size of your strata scheme.

The answer varies depending on whether you are in a large or non-large strata scheme. If the latter (ie scheme of over 100 lots) you must have requested a copy of the minutes within the statutory timeframe (ie within 14 days of the meeting).

In a non-large strata scheme, you must receive a copy of the minutes within 14 days after a meeting, and a failure to do so carried a maximum penalty: 5 penalty units.

Further, the next agenda for a general meeting should have those minutes attached if those minutes have not previously been circulated.
