Can the majority owner nominate themselves and their adult child to a position on the strata 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?

A person who is an owner of more than one lot in the strata scheme may nominate one person for election as a member of the strata committee for each lot for which the person is an owner.

The legislation is clear:

“A person who is an owner of more than one lot in the strata scheme may nominate one person for election as a member of the strata committee for each lot for which the person is an owner”.

But, the non-owner (adult daughter) must be nominated for election by an owner of a lot who is not a member or is not seeking election as a member of the strata committee.
