I don’t see why the committee could not send a letter saying whatever is the considered opinion of the members of the strata committee. That would not be purporting to know the views of all members of the owners corporation but should carry some weight nonetheless as a group of people who pay attention to local matters.
I recall an occasion when an owner wrote to our executive committee wanting us to object to the ACT government’s proposal to install a joint fire and ambulance facility about 1.5km down the road from us. We did not know what owners might think of it and we didn’t ask. Most committee members gave this NIMBY viewpoint little attention. It did however prompt me to send a personal submission in which mentioned my membership of our executive committee and I said that I expected that many residents would be pleased and reassured by the close proximity of such emergency services, particularly some of our elderly residents.
The emergency services facility has since been built and I have related this tale to some of my neighbours since. All I have spoken to agreed that the committee was right to not act the bizarre request that we object to a facility that many would find reassuring to have close by.
