Have all owners requested a copy of Strata Committee Minutes?
I found out by reading the Strata Committee Minutes following the May AGM that following the introduction of the new strata laws that all owners would now have to request them from the strata manager, in writing, if they want to receive Strata Committee Minutes.
It was not mentioned at the AGM by any of the Strata Committee and no information was provided in the Strata Committee Meeting Notice.
In the EC Minutes, following the AGM is was stated – 6.11 Distribution of Strata Committee Meeting Minutes – Any owner wishing copies of minutes of the strata Committee Meetings need to request this in writing from the Managing Agent within 7 days of the meeting being completed. It is not automatically sent to all owners as minutes are for General Meetings’
As I live in a complex of over 200 units I was concerned that many owners would not know about this requirement and I wrote to the strata manager and was alarmed to find out that less than 10 owners have asked to receive the Strata Committee Minutes. I have asked the Strata Committee Committee to publicize this requirement to all owners as I am sure many owners do not know about this change and it will impact on the accountability and transparency of the Strata Committee.
