Is an online noticeboard via a strata portal a valid method for displaying committee meeting notices

QLD

Committee & Governance

If a scheme maintains a noticeboard, notices of proposed committee meetings must be placed on it. Is an online noticeboard, accessible only via the BCM’s portal, a valid noticeboard?

The BCCM legislation permits, but does not require, a scheme to maintain a noticeboard in a suitable position on common property. This noticeboard can be for the display of notices and other material of interest to the owners or occupiers. If they do maintain a noticeboard, notices of proposed committee meetings must be placed on it. Is an online noticeboard, accessible only via the BCM’s portal, a valid noticeboard?

If there is no obligation to have a physical noticeboard, there is no issue with putting something you aren’t obliged to do online.

Voting and notices have now moved online lawfully, on an opt out basis. What I would say is that if there is no obligation to have a physical noticeboard (which there isn’t), then there is no issue with putting something you aren’t obliged to do online. So go for it!
