Cappy said: would the lot owner’s 4 votes be included in the 75% you mentioned in your previous response
YES I’m afraid so, but a saving grace may be that the vote on a Special Resolution is not by a simple majority, but by lot unit entitlement where that ≥75% in favour is calculated from the lot unit entitlement of those entitled to vote (and voting) divided by the aggregate lot unit entitlement.
If there’s something contentious about the renovations proposed, then you had better do a bit of lobbying amongst like-minded Proprietors in n effort to convince them attend the General Meeting or to grant you their proxies; not necessarily to oppose the works but perhaps to place conditions upon them that overcome whatever it is that you’re concerned about.
