Question: Can a strata have an extraordinary meeting without involving the strata manager? We wish to discuss concerns about our current strata manager without them being present.
Answer: The Act does not require the Strata Manager to be present.
Yes! A strata scheme can hold an extra-ordinary meeting without the strata manager being present.
Section 128 of the Strata Titles Act does not require the Strata Manager to be present. It is imperative though that if an EGM is being called by the council of owners or at the request of more than 25% of owners based on unit entitlement that the meeting is called as per the requirements of the Act e.g. minimum 14 days’ notice and it’s sent to all owners and the proposed motions are clear, attendance, proxies, a quorum and accurate minutes are taken.
Alternatively, you request your strata manager send out the notice but not attend the meeting or only excuse themselves from this motion of the meeting.
