Our chairperson resigned six months ago. Do we have an obligation to replace them?
The strata committee must fill the vacancy of an office bearer.
Yes. The strata committee must fill the vacancy of an office bearer. The person filling the vacancy must be a member of the strata committee or someone eligible to be a member of the strata committee.
If the vacancy is not an office bearer position, the decision to fill the vacancy is optional.
However, you may reassign the chair role to another member on the strata committee (which fills the vacant chair position) and keep a vacant position as an acting member of the committee.
We also note that any quorum will still be a majority of the total number determined at the Annual General Meeting. The number does not reduce because there is a vacancy. This will often determine if the strata committee should fill the vacancy of an acting member as well.
