    As for the “official Form”  I note this only someones interpretation of the ACT,  I think not a copy of a form prescribed by the act.

    Not so.

    This from schedule 1 of the Act:

    (1) Duly appointed proxy

    A person is a duly appointed proxy for the purposes of this Part if the person is appointed as a proxy by an instrument in the form prescribed by the regulations and the form is signed by the person appointing the proxy or executed in any other manner permitted by the regulations.

    And from the Regulations …

    13   Proxy votes—owners corporation

    For the purposes of clause 26 (1) of Schedule 1 to the Act, an instrument appointing a proxy is to be in or to the effect of Form 1 in Schedule 1.

    Another question which the act does not seem to address is,  How many proxies can the strata manager cast? … I assume it’s the same as for any other person .. ie only one for schemes with 20 or less lots.

    The Act doesn’t address this specifically do you can assume it’s the same as for everyone else (except strata managers may not use proxies to vote on issues in which they have a pecuniary interest).
