Question: Where can I find the protocol procedure as a member of the COO to call an urgent meeting?

Seems our members prefer to hide behind not wanting to respond to emails if the matter is of a delicate nature. We have a COO of 6 for a 17 lot strata.

Can one COO call a meeting ?

Answer: If the matter is of extreme importance then notice in writing can be sent giving the requisite 7 days notice and details of the items of business and reason for calling the meeting.

I have answered the questions as I find them in the Schedule 1 By-laws.

The protocol and procedure for calling a Council of Owners meeting in currently contained in Schedule 1 By-law 8 (2) (a).

If the matter is of extreme importance then notice in writing can be sent giving the requisite 7 days notice and details of the items of business and reason for calling the meeting.

The by-law specifies that any member of the council can call a meeting.

Question: Can you change the date of the AGM if you cannot attend and want to? How many owners have to request a date change?

Answer: With the strata reforms, if owners cannot attend in person they do have the option to “attend” via electronic means.

WA Face to Face strata meetings With the strata reforms, if owners cannot attend in person they do have the option to “attend” via electronic means, phone hook-up or a platform like Zoom provided the strata company or the managing agent offer a Zoom type facility. It is important that all owners are engaged.

It is beneficial that AGM’s are organised to endeavour to cater for the majority of owners, which is not always easy.

However for an individual owner to have the date changed they would need to act early, speak to their strata manager and or council member. Failing that they would need a majority of owners onside to change the date.

This would not be an easy exercise. What I would suggest is that owners stay involved and participate in their strata company activities, be a proactive owner and stay engaged.
