I am a long term secretary for our building. I carry out a lot of volunteer work around the building. At the AGM, a motion passed to pay me to be an unofficial onsite building manager. Can I be paid quarterly for this role instead of annually?

I see no reason why you couldn’t be paid quarterly.

The relevant section is 46:

STRATA SCHEMES MANAGEMENT ACT 2015 - SECT 46

Payment of officers of owners corporation

The key points are:

  • Must be decided by the owners at an AGM by ordinary resolution (simple majority)
  • For the period since the last AGM (ie 2021-2022 year)

I see no reason why you couldn’t be paid quarterly across 2022-2023.
