Can an owner who is not a committee member submit a motion to a committee meeting in NSW?
An owner's right to submit motions does not extend to motions for strata committee meeting agendas.
Under clause 4 of Schedule 1 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) (SSMA), owners in a strata scheme have the right to submit motions for inclusion on the agenda of a general meeting. However, this right does not extend to motions for strata committee meeting agendas.
The agenda for a strata committee meeting is determined solely by the secretary of the owners corporation. This applies not only to owners who are not committee members but also to members of the strata committee itself.
Nevertheless, an owner—whether a committee member or not—can approach the secretary to request the inclusion of a motion. The decision to add the motion to the agenda remains entirely at the discretion of the secretary.
