Published March 27, 2026 By Todd Garsden, Mahoneys Leave a Comment Last Updated March 27, 2026

This article discusses how owners can remove entire body corporate committee members at a general meeting, and alternative options if the goal is enforcing implementation of passed motions.

Question: If a committee repeatedly fails to implement motions passed by the body corporate at AGMs, can owners vote to remove ALL committee members?

If a committee repeatedly fails to implement motions passed by the body corporate at AGMs (including motions proposed by the Committee), can owners vote, at an EGM, in support of a motion to remove ALL committee members?

Answer: Yes – although any committee member can be removed for any reason

Yes – although any committee member can be removed for any reason – there does not need to be justification to do so.

If the intent was to have the motions that were passed implemented, there may be a more effective outcome by seeking to require the committee to implement the motion by seeking an order to do so.
