Can a 3-lot strata hold an EGM to discuss special business, without passing motions, and deal with any decisions at a later meeting?
In a 3-lot strata scheme, can the strata company call and hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to deal with special business that requires discussion but does not yet include any formal motions? If so, can any decisions or resolutions that arise from that discussion be put as motions at a later EGM or general meeting?
An EGM can serve as a valuable forum for discussion, owner feedback, and information gathering.
Special business may be discussed at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM); however, no legally binding decisions can be made unless formal motions are included on the agenda and voted on in accordance with the Strata Titles Act 1985 (the Act).
An EGM may be convened under the Act to discuss any matter relevant to the duties or operations of the strata company. This includes raising concerns, exploring options, and seeking input from owners.
Where specific motions are not listed on the agenda, the strata company and owners are unable to make formal decisions on those matters. Nevertheless, an EGM can serve as a valuable forum for discussion, owner feedback, and information gathering. Outcomes from these discussions may then inform the preparation of formal motions to be presented and decided upon at a subsequent general meeting, whether an EGM or the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
